Hi rappers
Hope you all enjoyed the last 12 days of
Commonwealth Games action and enjoyed discussing the games with your classmates
and fellow rappers. There were certainly lots of highlights.
I was very impressed with the list of characteristics
of good sports people your classes developed.
Many of you mentioned sportsmanship as a
good quality and I think Australian runner Craig Mottram provided us all with a
great example of this. He was very disappointed to miss out on Gold in the 5000m
and even more disappointed to fall over in the 1500m but he still was able to
accept that these things can happen. He is already starting to focus on his
next race. No tantrums or carry on - true sportsmanship.
This week you have an opportunity to talk
about your own participation in physical activity. Remember that physical
activity includes organised sport but also includes lots of other activities like
bike riding, skipping, skateboarding and walking.
I am sure you will have some interesting
discussions about the physical activity at school, at home, with friends, at
the local club and on your own.
After your discussions you can share the
following with other rappers.
As a class:
· provide a brief
statement explaining to other students, why it is important to be physically active
· provide three
examples of ways that most students in your class could increase their physical
activity levels.
NB. One response per class please.
Happy Rapping
Allan Booth
