Unit 2 Physical Education 

As part of our Unit 2 Physical Education studies, our students are examining the health benefits of Physical Activity and consequences of inactivity. We are analysing The Australian Physical Activity and Sedentary Guidelines and measuring our adherence to the guidelines. 

We have completed practical activities examining aspects of our physical and social environment that enables or acts as a barrier to physical activity. For example, we rated the various footpaths and tracks in and around the Bellbird Dell and discussed the benefits of the natural environment in encouraging physical activity. 

Dog Ownership is linked strongly to increased physical activity and in Week 8 of this term both classes were involved in a dog walk to Terrara Park which is an off-leash area. 

Thank you to all the family’s members who assisted in this activity by dropping off dogs to school. We all enjoyed the social benefits of the activity (including our dogs!) and the physical benefits of a moderate intensity walk that helped us achieve elements of the Physical Activity guidelines for the day!
