Physical Education
Physical Education at Happy Hill Farm Academy focuses on teaching students how to become physically fit while instilling in them a love for fitness and exercise. Areas that are emphasized include motor development, fundamental movements, cooperative activities, games, relays, and team and individual sports.
Kindergarten, First, and Second Grade programs focus on motor development and teaching students fundamental movements. The Third, Fourth, Fifth, and Sixth grade programs focus more on aspects of team and individual sports, such as displaying good sportsmanship, team work, and fundamental movements.
Health is a very important subject that is taught within Happy Hill Farm Academy’s physical education program. With the obesity rate in children increasing, it is very important for students to learn and develop healthy habits that will last throughout their lives. Students learn about the food pyramid and healthy foods to eat, the importance of exercise, safety, and the anatomy of the body.
