Fit’n’Wit is a program designed and planned as an entertaining activity focusing to offer a better understanding of living a healthy lifestyle by students, parents and teachers. During this activity we enjoy practicing basic movement skills and co-operative games with a high dose of fun.

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!

Pre 5 Summative Assessment

Stand-Alone Unit: Movement Composition/Health & Fitness

Central Idea: People connect movements with music to express themselves.

The Snakes and Safaris had created and performed their first workout! In this clips they show you their own choices and suggestions for a fabulous workout that you can try at home! 

Here is the movie which concluded our Adventure Challenge stand alone unit in Physical Education. The Pre 5 students did an amazing work and I am very happy to highlight their achievement once again! Well done, Safaris and Snakes!

We are now using QR codes during the Adventure Challenge unit in Pre 5. I was amazed about how fast my students have learned and how relaxed they are when using technology. I have planned two sessions to practice scanning and they have done it in 10 minutes! We are now getting with one step closer to the summative assessment, when they will have to scan QR codes and overcome a challenge, by teams.

In the PE stand alone unit we are learning how to overcome challenges through communication, trust and an open mind. We have played Clean The Mess game. Students are grouped by teams and each teams is assigned a different task. Team mates decide through a group discussion their roles and responsibilities during the challenge. We end up the challenge with a group reflection with each team identifying the challenges they were facing and  transdisciplinary skills being used.
