Physical Education (PE) for Life
Competent Movers, Confident Participants, Committed Advocates of Active & Healthy Living
- We want our students to be competent in their PE skills so that they are more confident to pursue and be engaged in physical activities for life.
- They understand and are able to make the right decision about their health.
Students will learn the following domains:
| Games & Sports | P1 to 3, focuses on mastery of fundamental motor skills and concepts P4 to 6, extends on the mastery of discrete skills to focus on more complex combinations and sequences of movements, and skills application in more recognisable forms of activity and games |
|
|---|---|---|
| Gymnastics | Focuses on enhancing overall body management and control through the following movement categories: travelling, jumping and climbing balancing rotating mounting, dismounting and vaulting sequencing |
|
| Dance | Students will learn to express and communicate feelings and ideas through exploration, creation and performance. The focus is on the use of body as instrument of communication and self-expression, accompanied by various stimuli. | |
| Outdoor Education | Develops appropriate outdoor skills through physical activities while cultivating an attitude of care and appreciation for the environment, and thoughtful considerations of the risks and safety of self and others | |
| Physical Health & Fitness | Focuses on developing self-directed learners who see meaning in their sustained physical and health endeavours | |
| Athletics | Challenges students to run faster and over longer distance, jump for height and distance, and throw objects of different shapes and weight for distance and accuracy. |
PE for Life - Practising skills beyond class
Physical education has the potential to make distinctive contributions to the development of children’s fundamental movement skills and physical competencies, which are necessary precursors of participation in later lifestyle and sporting physical activities.
We strongly encourage our students to practise their PE skills beyond lessons and even school. Students can explore various creative ways to master the skill sets taught at their own time.
We also infuse the use of ICT in our teaching and learning of PE. The students have the opportunity to use their own learning devices for video recording and evaluation of their skill performances during their formative assessment.
PE for Life - Journaling
Every student keeps a PE Journal. This allows them to reflect and articulate their learning during and beyond Physical Education lessons. Students also ask questions to clarify any doubt they may have. Teachers would use the reflections to guide and develop the students’ PE skills and address concerns that the students may have.
We also provide our students the following opportunities and experiences to enjoy active and healthy living.
- Play@Lunch
- National Day Games
- Virtual Run
- SwimSafer
- Adventure Camp - P5 Camp Briefing Parents

Aesthetics
Appreciate the Arts through a Learned Lens
Admiralty Primary School adapts the Discipline-Based Art Education (DBAE) framework in our Aesthetics curricula to bring about a deep and powerful arts teaching and learning. Our students analyse perspectives in the arts through essential questions such as “What is the artist’s voice?” and “What is the role of art/the artists/the audience?”.
You may refer to Ministry of Education’s ART and Music syllabi here.
Discipline-Based Art Education (DBAE)
Artist Practice
In Art, our students have their own sketchbooks for them to document their research and exploration.
They also use the sketchbooks to refine their ideas and skills before proceeding with their final artwork. This get students to experience the practice of an artist and understand what goes behind creating an artwork.
Arts for Life - Being an Artist Beyond Class
Arts education in school is a foundation to their learning experience.
We strongly encourage our students to continue their arts journey beyond their lessons and even school. Students can discover how Art and Music is everywhere and explore ways to document this learning to complement what they are learning in school at their own time.
