Term 3 Week 9 Cross Country Part 2

Movement Inquiry – Goals help us to focus on a personal action plan

Training for Cross Country Term 3

The students moan at the thought of running everyday training for cross country. As Year 6’s they have a good idea who is going to win and who is going to be in the interschool team.  So this year I took a different approach. We looked at becoming fitter rather than training just for cross country.  Movement was the inquiry for the term so we decided to do a personal inquiry into fitness.   During the term:

·            Running training – most days                                                                                           Footsteps – Dance Group 5 week programme  and Jump                                                      Performance Hour – 1 hour a week based on movement and then a performance                  3 times a week 10 minutes’ circuit rotation to music

    Criteria 9:  Select teaching approaches, resources, technologies and learning and assessment activities that are inclusive and effective for diverse ākonga.  Modify teaching approaches to address the needs of individuals and groups of ākonga                                                                                                    

      This was a most successful way of addressing diverse learning needs.   Would I do it this way again - TOTALLY!!

      This unit has been shared with Miguel who is the facilitator from Sport North Harbour. Miguel is working with the Physical Education Team (Sam, Lisa Negus, Tracey Clarke and myself) on the new school wide PE plan. He asked for a copy of this work so he could share with other schools.   (Criteria 5)
