Physical Education Newsletter – January 2026
During the month of December, the emphasis was on fitness and the acquisition of manipulation skills (i.e., striking) as they apply to volleyball (for grades 4 to 6) and simple games and activities such as polo hockey, T-ball and balloon activities (for N/K to 3). In addition to this, students have been engaging in a variety of holiday games and activities to improve movement skills, personal fitness and enjoyment. In January, students will focus on manipulative skills (i.e., throwing, catching and bouncing) and applying them to basketball (for grades 4 to 6) and low organized games (for Nursery to grade 3).

Mulvey School Physical Education Program Overview
2025 – 2026 School Year
Introduction
Acquisition of movement skills is a key factor for students choosing to lead physically active and healthy lifestyles. Students are less likely to participate in physical activities and recreational sport if they have not learned the skills or experienced success in applying them. The fundamental movement skills that we teach our students in our program are the foundation or building blocks of an active lifestyle during adolescence.
Physical Education Learning Outcomes Explanation
Mulvey School Physical Education Program is based on the Manitoba Curriculum Framework of outcomes for Active Healthy Lifestyles.
The aim of the program is to provide students with planned and balanced programming to develop the knowledge, skills, and attitudes for physically active and healthy lifestyles. The vision is physically active and healthy lifestyles for all students.
Curriculum Content and Learning Outcomes
Curriculum content is organised within the following five learning outcomes:
Movement: The student will demonstrate competency in selected movement skills and learning experiences.
Fitness Management: The student will develop physical activity habits, personal fitness and preparing them for lifelong physical activity and well-being.
Safety: The student will demonstrate safe and responsible behaviours to manage risks and prevent injuries in physical activity participation.
Personal and Social Management: the student will demonstrate the ability to work cooperatively with others, and to build positive relationships with others.
