The system also seeks to encourage healthier lifestyles and a care for the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For its part, the Spanish education system seeks to strike a balance between physical activity and the development of motor skills, whilst placing greater emphasis on achieving sporting and physical results.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Evaluation of the subject<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The French education system assesses the subject by taking into account pupils\u2019 learning process, both in terms of their sporting development and the values they have acquired, as well as their attitude during physical activities. The ultimate aim is to integrate sport into their daily lives, thereby improving their physical and mental wellbeing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">On the other hand, the Spanish education system tends to assess the subject primarily on the basis of sporting results, taking into account physical performance and the ability to carry out various activities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Values through sport<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to being a sports subject, thanks to the French education system, physical and sports education encourages pupils to acquire a series of very important values to apply in their daily lives:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Teamwork.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Respect for the rules.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Respect for their peers and themselves.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Effort.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Discipline.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Solidarity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Perseverance.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Sportsmanship.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Tolerance.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sports activities at school<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The French education system\u2019s approach to sport focuses on introducing a range of activities, from traditional ones such as basketball, football and handball to more modern ones such as hockey, yoga and cycling sessions, so that pupils can incorporate eco-friendly and sustainable practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In addition, we hold the Mini-Olympics on a regular basis, a sports day where Year 1 and Year 2 pupils take part in a range of sporting activities, demonstrating their ability to work as a team, their respect for their classmates and their sportsmanship.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The school also offers a range of <a href=\"https:\/\/apemoliere.org\/actividades-extraescolares\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">extracurricular sports activities<\/a> tailored to students\u2019 needs and preferences, encouraging them to take part in sport outside school hours, and helping to develop their skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In the <a href=\"https:\/\/lyceemolieresaragosse.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">international school of Zaragoza Lyc\u00e9e fran\u00e7ais Moli\u00e8re<\/a> We have modern, well-equipped sports facilities to ensure that the various activities can be carried out properly.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La educaci\u00f3n f\u00edsica y deportiva es una disciplina fundamental para la formaci\u00f3n de los alumnos, el desarrollo de su motricidad y el aprendizaje de distintas actividades f\u00edsicas y deportivas.
