Background Questionnaire: Physical Education in the Foundation Phase
Question 1:
How does your child engage in physical activities at home, such as running,
jumping, or playing with a ball?
Reason: This question helps assess the child's involvement in gross motor activities at
home, which are critical for their physical development. Understanding their level of
engagement can guide the teacher in tailoring physical education activities that align
with the child's current abilities and interests.
Question 2:
Has your child participated in any organized physical activities or sports outside
of school? If yes, which ones?
Reason: Knowing if the child has been involved in structured physical activities can
provide insight into their experience with following instructions, teamwork, and motor
skill development. This information is valuable for planning appropriate activities in the
school setting.
Question 3:
Does your child have any difficulties with tasks that require balance, such as
standing on one foot or walking along a straight line?
Reason: This question is designed to identify potential issues with balance, which is a
fundamental aspect of gross motor development. Early detection of balance difficulties
can help in implementing targeted interventions to support the child's development.
