Physical Education Teacher Guide Grade 3

This Physical Education Teacher Guide for Grade three was developed as a support document for the implementation of Physical Education syllabus for grades 3, 4 and 5.

The document provides guidelines for teachers on how to plan and program teaching and learning activities. It also contains sample guided lessons and assessment tasks with suggested teaching and learning strategies that the teacher can use to work towards the achievement of content standards in the syllabus.

The Teacher Guide has been realigned, repositioned and replaced with standards based statements to improve knowledge, skills and competency in physical education for students in primary grades 3, 4 and 5. Physical Education curriculum content for primary builds upon the knowledge, skills, attitudes and values students acquired in elementary level of learning.

The learning scale caters for the development of basic movement skills and safety as the foundation for the development of sports. These reinforce school competitions and also encourage appropriate behavior as a competitor and a spectator. It is anticipated that students are expected to understand and practice positive social relationships, cooperation and organizational skills in various physical education lesson activities.

Teachers are encouraged to read this teacher guide carefully and be familiar with the content so that they can be confident to teach the students important competencies. I commend and approve this Grade three Physical Education Teacher Guide to be used in all primary schools throughout Papua New Guinea.
