  • use one's body to explore activities and develop basic movements
  • practise and use basic skills, such as running with, throwing, bouncing, kicking and catching a ball in various movement activities
  • show the ability to swim by falling into deep water, front stroke swimming 100 m, during which the pupil dives down and picks up an object with his or her hands, stopping and resting for three minutes (while keeping afloat on one's stomach, orienting oneself, rolling over, floating on one’s back), then swimming 100 m backstroke, and climbing ashore
  • understand and follow rules for interaction in games and movement activities
  • understand how one’s own body and others’ bodies are different, and include others in different movement activities
  • explore outdoor activities and cooperate with others during the different seasons in the local environment
  • make and use maps to orient oneself in familiar terrain
  • practise safe and sustainable nature wandering

Formative assessment

Formative assessment shall help to promote learning and develop competence in the subject. The pupils demonstrate and develop their competence in physical education in Years 3 and 4 when they participate in and practise so they can learn different movement activities, cooperate and include others in play and interaction, and explore outdoor activities during the four seasons in the local environment.

The teacher shall facilitate for pupil participation and stimulate the desire to learn through a variety of movement activities the pupils perform alone or together with others, and through practising on assessing their own work in physical education. The teacher and pupils shall engage in dialogue about their development in physical education. The pupils shall have the opportunity to experiment in the subject. With the competence the pupils have demonstrated as the starting point, they shall have the opportunity to express what they believe they have achieved, and what they have done better than before. The teacher shall provide guidance on further learning and adapt the teaching to enable the pupils to use the guidance provided to develop their competence in movement activities, swimming, play and interaction in outdoor activities.
