Competency 1 - To perform movement skills in different physical activity settings

The goal of this competency is to provide children with the ability to learn their bodies and how they move in space, and also to be able to use motor skills effectively.

End-of-Cycle Outcomes
    • Cycle 1
      • identify possible movement skills based on instructions, goal, and environment

      • perform sequences of locomotor, non-locomotor, and object manipulation skills
      • evaluate process on the basis of their achievements and difficulties
    • Cycle 2
      • identify possible movement skills based on their capacity to apply balance and coordination
      • choose movements and justify their choices
      • perform sequences of locomotor, non-locomotor, and object manipulation skills
      • evaluate their process and identify desirable improvements or elements that are worth keeping
    • Cycle 3
      • identify possible movements and their consequences
      • choose movements and justify their choices
      • perform sequences of locomotor, non-locomotor, and object manipulation skills
