ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT DURING THE PRIMARY SCHOOL PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND PLAY LESSONS

  • Physical Education and Play lessons are based on learning through play.
  • In the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade lessons, a curriculum containing four different disciplines is applied.
  • The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd graders follow a program including Gymnastics, Sports Skills and Coordination, Educational Games, Ball Skill Practices, and Rhythm Education in four-week rotations.

The 4th graders;

Throughout the school year, students have the opportunity to experience 11 different branches in groups of 8-10 students, formed by mixing all classes. These groups rotate every three weeks under the guidance of expert trainers and teachers. In this way, students gain knowledge about all the branches, while teachers assess their abilities and skills. At the end of the year, a recommendation letter is sent to the parents, suggesting a branch for each student based on their strengths.

The 10 branches that students will get to know through three-week rotations are:

  • Athletics
  • Basketball
  • Creative Dance
  • Football
  • Judo
  • Table Tennis
  • Archery
  • Tennis
  • Volleyball
  • Gymnastics
  • Bocce

MEASUREMENT-ASSESSMENT

  • In our 1st, 2nd, and 3rd grade lessons, the goal is to achieve the learning outcomes set by the Ministry of National Education (MEB) for specific age groups through a curriculum that includes five different disciplines. Based on these outcomes, we track the progress of our students using observation forms we have prepared, and at the end of the year, we provide parents with a PROGRESS report.

ACTIVITIES CARRIED OUT IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION AND PLAY LESSONS THROUGHOUT PRIMARY SCHOOL EDUCATION

  • In addition to Physical Education and Play lessons, fun sports activities such as jump rope, traditional children’s games, mini volleyball, mini basketball, mini tennis, mini football, and gymnastics festivals are organized during primary school recess times to ensure the continuity of students’ motor skill development.
  • Sports trivia competitions and athletic contests held within the school aim to help our students improve themselves.
  • Our primary school students have the opportunity to participate in inter-school competitions by joining teams such as Artistic Gymnastics (for 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders) and Traditional Children’s Games (for 4th graders).
  • As part of the TED Istanbul College Sports Club, a Spring Sports Camp is held during the April mid-term break. This camp is traditionally held at the same time each year in different cities. Students select one of 11 sports branches to participate in, engaging in two training sessions per day (morning and evening). The available sports branches are Basketball, Volleyball, Tennis, Table Tennis, Dance, Gymnastics, Archery, Bocce, Athletics, Judo, and Football. In this event, students are also involved in additional activities such as Swimming, Darts, Educational Games, Board Games, Obstacle Courses, Themed Parties, Golf, and Bowling. The purpose is to teach students the disciplines of different sports, help them take responsibility for themselves while being away from their families, and improve their social skills by interacting with students they do not know, all within the same age group.
