Grade 5 started their year off with an Health Related Fitness. To begin we discussed ways that we could improve our health & fitness and how would we know if we have improved our health & fitness?
They came up with the following:
HOW CAN WE IMPROVE OUR HEALTH & FITNESS?
"By dancing" - An
"By playing football/soccer" - Callum
"Exercise" - Meghna
"Going to the gym" - Bernie
"Eating healthy food" - Lars
"Being balanced" - Chile
"Get good sleep and enough rest" - Simon
"Stay hygienic, shower, brush teeth, wash your hands etc" - Callum
"Drink enough water - stay hydrated" - Pepe & An
"You will be able to see more muscles" - Oliver
"You clothes will begin to get baggier" - Brooke
"You can get slim" - Reiji
"You will have more endurance - you will be able to exercise for longer than you could before" - Travis
"We won’t get as tired when we run" - Min Seo
HOW WE WILL KNOW IF WE HAVE IMPROVED OUR HEALTH & FITNESS?
"Not as fat and you get muscles" - Simon & Callum
"Weighing yourself" - Imogen
"You will have more energy" - An & Chile
"Set a timer to make sure you know how long you have been playing video games" - Imogen
GETTING OUR BLOOD PUMPING!!!!
Next Grade 5 worked in small groups and completed some short workouts using the iPads to increase their heart rate and get their bodies moving to improve their strength, endurance and flexibility. Before they worked out, they took their resting pulse rate. Once the workouts were complete the students again too their pulse rate to see how it changes with exercise.
