How this course is shaped

Introduction

This is the Grade 2 Physical Education and Arts course (Ages 7–8). It is written so a child can learn with a teacher, a parent, or a careful older sibling. Every lesson tells you what will happen, why it matters, how to try it, and how to know you understood. The PlusOne / HBC teacher’s guide PDF sits beside the lessons so you can open the original pages when you want the full book.

What you will learn

You will grow in Physical Education and Arts through these units: Safety and health; Healthy living habits; Organs of the body; Music and dance; Visual arts; Theatre; Weight bearing / balancing; Locommotion / movement / elementary movement; Coordination skills; Sending, receiving and travelling and 4 more units. By the end you should be able to talk about each idea, try a task, and connect it to home and Zimbabwe.

How we learn

We learn in tiny steps. We look, we say, we do, we praise. If the child looks away, we pause. Short, happy lessons beat long, hard ones.

What you need

Crayons, paper, and something to count or hold. An adult nearby to help. Open space to move. Paper and crayons. Water to drink after play.
