The second season of our activity started right before the break.

‘Fit’n’Wit Kidz’ is a program designed and planned as an entertaining activity focusing to offer a better understanding of living a healthy lifestyle by students and parents. ‘Fit’n’Wit Kidz’ is an activity where we practice basic movement skills and co-operative games with a high dose of fun.

In this clip we highlight some of the best learning experience from this activity, in Term 1.

Enjoy!

Grade Level: Pre 4, Pre 5, Grade 1, Grade 3

We feel inspired about the students’ creativity during the stand-alone unit of Individual Pursuits. “Mastering basic movement skills ensures body development and conditions performance” is the central idea of this unit. In this unit we’ll build the inquiry and the students’ understanding using the following concepts: “Development”, “Performance”, and “Patterns”.

At SEK Qatar, more than 70 students participated in this activity this year. They have learned new skills and they enjoyed sessions loaded with fun games. A weekly newsletter kept students and parents informed about healthy options in their lifestyle. The parents had the chance to join their children during one of the sessions that ended up with a healthy snack for all.

Special thanks to Manuel Romão, an enthusiastic and dedicated parent, who put a considerable effort into making this exceptional movie.

Enjoy the summer and stay fit!

The last unit of Grade 1 this academic year was aimed at developing physical literacy. Grade 1 developed their basic movements skills working both on form and function of different skills. We have explored a variety of basic movement skills during the 6 weeks unit as you can see in the video below.

Currently, in the PE stand alone unit of inquiry, we are learning how basic movement skills enable us to enjoy responsible a variety of activities. We have played the Stepping Stones game. The students had to cross over an imaginary river by stepping on imaginary stones (hula hoops). They did this individually, by pairs and we finally made it successfully with the entire class.
