Introduction
|
|
| |
This learning activity gives the students
the opportunity to investigate Health and
PE, discovering what interests them by developing
a Learning Activity. The Learning Activity
needs to cover both nutrition and physical
activity. |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Learning Task
|
|
| |
|
|
Students need to work
together as a class to brainstorm a
whole range of different things they
want to learn about Health, PE, nutrition,
types of physical activity, balanced
diet, amount of physical activity,
and the 5 food groups |
| |
|
In groups of 2, students select a
topic that interests them. Remember
to emphasise that the Healthy Activity
should include both nutrition and physical
activity and should cover either all
of the 5 Fun Ways themes or focus on
one theme
Students can use this planning
template
to help build up their learning activity.

Encourage students to look on the
web for useful websites – they
can use the websites from all the great
Learning Quests on the Kids Health
and Fitness website as a starting point.
Have students collate information from
websites. Remember to get students
to record the website address (URL),
the title, the creator and a short
description about the site. This can
be done by selecting the URL with the
mouse and copy and paste it into a
Word document. By doing this, students
will have a better chance of recording
it correctly |
| |
|
Students can use the following as
a guideline for the parts of a Learning
Activity:
A title: What the
Learning Activity will be called.
Make it sound fun
and engaging
An introduction: Information
about the Learning Activity, what
the main
learning is from doing the Learning
Activity
A learning task: What needs to be
done. Keep it simple. Only introduce
1 – 2 things to learn. A well-designed
task is engaging, fun and promotes
learning |
| |
|
Students develop activity cards once
the learning activity is complete.
Each month choose a new activity card
to learn something new that students
want to learn about |
| |
|
Encourage refection on the development
of their own learning activity. Use
the Y Chart for students to reflect
on what they experienced, learnt and
did
