Children explore what makes moving their bodies fun and meaningful, building habits for active living they can carry through life. [See the curriculum](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4273).

Kids practice moving with more control, more spatial awareness, and better teamwork, growing stronger and steadier every week. [See the curriculum](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4300).

Through play and daily routines, children explore roles, responsibilities, and self-regulation, building resilience and confidence. [See the curriculum](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4339).

Safety lessons help children recognize risks and make safe choices in many settings, at school, at home, and at play. [See the curriculum](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4366).

Children learn what influences their food choices and how food connects to feeling well. [See the curriculum](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4381).

## Across the year

- Movement skill development and active living reinforce each other: as children gain control, balance, and spatial awareness, physical activity becomes more enjoyable and meaningful. [See the curriculum](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4273): [1](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4273), [2](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4300).
- Teamwork threads through movement skills, character development, and healthy relationships, since children practice cooperating, communicating, and respecting others in the same activities where they build physical skills. [See the curriculum](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4300): [1](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4300), [2](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4339), [3](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4400).
- Safety and growth and development connect closely: understanding how bodies change helps children make sense of the safety choices they practice in different situations. [See the curriculum](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4366): [1](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4366), [2](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4411).
- Financial literacy and healthy eating both ask children to notice what shapes their decisions, whether it is money or food, building the same decision-making muscle in different contexts. [See the curriculum](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4422): [1](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4422), [2](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4381).
- Character development ties the year together, since roles, responsibilities, and self-regulation show up across movement, safety, and relationship learning. [See the curriculum](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4339): [1](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4339), [2](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4300), [3](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4366), [4](https://goa-cc-uat-aili-app-001.azurewebsites.net/explore/node/4400).
