Specialized sports curriculum
Sports at the Johann-Hinrich-Fehrs-School
Sports education at the Johann-Hinrich-Fehrs-School makes an important contribution to the physical, social, and personal development of students. Movement, play, and sport enable children to consciously perceive their bodies, develop motor skills, and have positive experiences with performance, cooperation, and fairness.
The lessons are based on the subject requirements for sports in primary schools in Schleswig-Holstein and are divided into seven central areas of movement. The aim is to acquire comprehensive sports skills and to develop a positive attitude towards lifelong sports activities.

Learning through movement and experience
Sports education is action- and experience-oriented. The children gather diverse movement experiences, mostly in a playful form. Both motor skills and social and personal skills are specifically promoted, such as:
- Cooperation and communication
- Sense of responsibility
- Dealing with success and failure
- Self-confidence and perseverance
Movement is also firmly anchored in everyday school life, including through exercise periods, sports clubs, running days, Federal Youth Games, and school sports competitions.
Differentiation, safety, and assessment
Sports education takes into account the different physical requirements of the children through:
- individual load control
- adapted tasks
- differentiated forms of play and exercise
Safety, awareness of rules, and mutual consideration are always of great importance. Performance assessment is primarily based on active participation, personal learning progress, and social behavior in class.
Aim of sports education
The aim is for students to develop a love of exercise, strengthen their physical abilities, and learn to move fairly, responsibly, and independently in sporting activities – as a basis for health, well-being, and lifelong enjoyment of movement.
