Physical Education: Developing skills through sports.
New forms of relationships that generate social recognition and a sense of belonging.
The main objective of the Body Project of Colegio Hacienda Los Alcaparros is to develop skills in children through sports, having as a goal the integral formation and not the achievement of results.
Through the creation of the Encuentros Lúdicos, we have been able to work in this direction, designing an inter-institutional pedagogical proposal for the Union of Bilingual Schools (UCB). These meetings/games are aimed at children between 7 and 10 years of age and are based on the philosophy of respect for others.
Games allow us to find new forms of relationships that generate social recognition and a sense of belonging. At the same time, they allow the student to develop skills such as jumping, running, dodging, catching, throwing, kicking, which favors hand-eye and foot-eye coordination through physical exercise, but beyond that, the student appropriates rules and concepts essential for life: fair play and teamwork.
The Playful Encounters transform the conception of sport, because it is not about winning or losing, but about enjoying, creative and spontaneous play, which motivates human development.
Sports Classes and Training
In the classrooms there are a number of activities that seek to develop motor skills and competencies in each school, the activities that are performed vary according to the age of psychomotor, physiological and socioemotional development.
The sports training sessions take place during extracurricular hours and seek to strengthen specific skills and abilities in each sport, focused on values and principles, in order to form great human beings.
Athletics
Athletics is an individual activity that is part of the basic motor skills, which involves a number of disciplines in track athletics (speed – relays – semifondo) and field athletics (jumps – throws), is one of the most complete sports, is part of physical education classes and also has an extracurricular space for those students seeking to deepen and improve their performance and performance in this and other sports.
Basketball
A team sport that seeks to develop, in addition to specific motor and physiological skills, the development of social skills, through its internal dynamics of opposition and collaboration, seeks to develop critical and strategic thinking through exercises that students have to perform to solve the various tasks of movement that this sport demands.
Volleyball
In the school it has traditionally had a special welcome in both girls and boys, it is a practice that they constantly prefer during breaks or recesses, it is also one of the sports that has obtained more results at the level of competition in the UCB.
Kayak
The school has a reservoir that allows us to perform boating activities, we have implements that allow us safe and fun water activities, is one of our differentiating features in relation to other schools.
Gymnastics
Gymnastics is one of the most complete physical programs, as it incorporates strength, speed, coordination, balance, equilibrium and self-regulation. In this discipline, children develop and mature their basic physical skills.
School gymnastics teaches specific techniques and exercises specific to the sport activity in all its modalities with the purpose of developing, correcting, perfecting and improving the capacity of movement generating a personal wellbeing.
Mountain Biking
Among the activities that the geography of the school allows us to perform is this sport on bicycles, this experience on wheels, goes from preschool to high school and has spaces in class and extracurricularly, in addition, participation in festivals unites the two associations, UCB and Uncoli.
Wall climbing
It is carried out as part of the workshops by interests that the high school physical education classes have and for some groups that have adaptation as a focus in their projects. Climbing students develop their potential, working by challenge in search of self-improvement, overcoming mental and physical challenges.
TRX
Within the avant-garde activities for body work, we have a specialized room, designed for functional training, equipped with machines and implements that allow the student to learn to work their body with a base and develop their maximum potential. Among the various methodologies are the TRX, dumbbells (free weights), power bags, Swiss and medicine balls, boxes, trowels, among others. These allow to diversify the routines, according to the interests of each student.
