PHYSICAL EDUCATION Physical education is a science that offers people the opportunity for movement and action. Its main purpose is to protect them from inactivity, unhealthy living, and mental stress. It generally improves the physical condition of the individual, that is, the ability of the various systems of the body, especially the circulatory and respiratory systems, to perform work of great intensity and duration. At the same time, it improves endurance, flexibility, posture and has the ability to prevent and correct serious physical deformities. In summary, we would say that children should finish school having acquired some basic motor skills that arise effortlessly and through their own creativity, having recognized the importance of physical education, and feeling a substantial and internal need to lead a healthy life. They should finish school having learned to express themselves through movement, having understood their environment, having learned to communicate, and ultimately having better known themselves and the capabilities of both their bodies and their minds.

MUSIC-MUSICAL COMPETITION As one of the greatest contemporary British writers Philip Pullman put it, "Children need art and music as much as love, fresh air and play." The lesson of music is not just the singing or playing of a musical instrument, a child who is involved in music must use multiple skills and often at the same time. In this section we learn new songs, we know many musical instruments and what sound each one produces, we create our own songs, we play percussion and other instruments, we have fun and we play with our soul !!
