Physical Education in Grade 5 helps students develop strength, coordination, and teamwork while encouraging a healthy lifestyle. At this stage, learners participate in games, sports, and fitness activities that build confidence and discipline. Through Physical Education, children explore the importance of regular exercise, safe movement, and fair play. They also learn how physical activity affects the body, from improving the heart and lungs to building stronger muscles and bones. These assignments are divided into starter, practice, and challenge levels, giving students opportunities to stay active, reflect on their fitness, and understand how exercise connects to overall health.
With Physical Education, Grade 5 learners prepare for a lifetime of wellness and activity.
