Grade 6 Physical Education and Arts
Ages 11–12 · 15 units · 60 lessons
Introduction
This is the Grade 6 Physical Education and Arts course (Ages 11–12). 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; Health living habits; Organs of the body; Music and dance; Visual arts; Theatre; Balance and locomotion; Invasion games – Space awareness, positioning and reaction; Target and combat games – Aiming, targeting and stance; Net games – Strokes and 5 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
Each unit has four lessons: Discover, Learn, Practise, and Show. Read the PDF when you want extra examples. Do the ‘Your turn’ work in a book. Mistakes are part of the path — we correct them kindly and try again.
What you need
A pencil, an exercise book, and a quiet place to sit. Open space to move. Paper and crayons. Water to drink after play.
