Physical Education

Our Aim

  • Through the teaching and learning of Physical Education (PE) in AMKP, we hope to develop in students the knowledge (Head), attitude (Heart) and skills (Hand) to pursue and enjoy a physically active and healthy lifestyle and enable them to demonstrate individually and with others, the physical skills, practices and values to enjoy active and healthy living.

Our Approach

  • To achieve this, the Physical Education learning experience in AMKP is made “visible, inclusive and authentic” with the following approaches:

    • Direct Instruction and Demonstration

    • Movement Education

    • Games Concept Approach (GCA)

    • Sport Education

    • Gradual Release of Responsibility (GRR) - A teaching approach that transitions students to eventually assume all the responsibility for their learning (self-directed learning).

    • Formative Assessment (FA) Strategies

    • Differentiated Instruction (DI)

  • The PE programme includes 7 learning areas such as Dance, Games and Sports, Gymnastics, Outdoor Education, Athletics (starts at P4), Physical Health and Safety, and Swimming (completed by Primary 6).

  1. Programme for Active Learning (PAL) – Sports & Games and Outdoor Education Modules (P1-P2)

  • The Programme for Active Learning (PAL) is an integral part of the curriculum for Primary 1 and 2 students offering active, hands-on and meaningful learning experiences for our lower primary students.

  • The Sports and Games Modules for Primary 1 and 2 students allow students to be engaged in a variety of sports and games activities, e.g. fundamental movement, movement exploration, creative movement and modified sports and games. This engagement promotes interactions among the students and enable them to develop their interpersonal and social skills, attitudes and values in a sports context.

  • The Outdoor Education Modules for Primary 1 and 2 students expose them to the NParks Kids for Nature Programme. P1 students learn to appreciate outdoor setting and realise that there are many things to be discovered such as nature, clouds, sun and wind, which cannot be found indoors. P2 students learn to orientate themselves in school using pictorial map/directions and appreciate nature and Singapore’s rich biodiversity through the study of trees

3. Kaleidoscope (P1-P6)

  • Believing in student voice, the Kaleidoscope provides a platform for students to showcase their interests and talents in sports skills. They can also do short presentations about their sports idols, passion for a particular sport or how they can adopt active and healthy living habits to keep themselves fit and healthy.
