PE & Sports Update
Jells Park Primary School
PE
Level 1 & 2 have been doing teamwork activities this term. Games and activities such as river/lava rescue encourage the students to show a positive attitude, brainstorm and listen to ideas, problem solve, focus, help others, resilience when ideas don’t work and work with their own and others ideas.
Level 3 have just completed a unit on indigenous games, learning and adapting games that were played by first nations children and then teaching each other with modern resources.
Level 4 have also just completed a unit on healthy lifestyles. Working in groups of 3, they have created a slide show or video on one of the following topics: food, sleep, hydration, mindfulness and activity. In the coming weeks, I will be putting them together to make class documentaries about the choices they can make to live a healthy lifestyle.
