Health and Physical Education

In Health, Grade 7 students are focussing on the benefits of being physically active. We have been looking at the health, fitness, skill, community and social health benefits of being an active member of their community. Students looked at their current activity levels and compared them to the national guidelines. This week students looked at measuring their heart rates and the effect that physical activity has on their heart rate. Students then compared their results with others in the class.

In practical lessons, grade 9 students have been focussing on invasion games. Classes are currently undertaking a 'Capture the Flag' unit where the major focus has been on spatial awareness, with an emphasis on creating and containing space within the game situation and personally focussing on their ability to dodge and change direction in order to either evade another student or to capture another student.
