Hi Rappers
We are getting close to the end of our rap
and I must congratulate you on the terrific work you have done. I really enjoyed
reading the benefits you provided for being physically active and some of the
interesting ways that you keep active.
I recently read that in NSW schools:
- Boys are more active
than girls
- Younger students are
more active than older students
- Students are more
active in summer than winter
- Students in rural
areas are more active than students in urban (city areas)
What do you think? Would this be true at
your school? Why?
This might make for a good class discussion.
This week you get a chance to explore ways
you can include physical activity into your daily life, especially when
travelling to and from school. Safety is an important consideration and you
will be able to discuss safe travel and develop some advice for students and
parents. You may also have the chance to participate in Walk Safely to School Day. I would be
interested to know what your school does on this day.
Your rap task this week is to develop some advice
that your class would give, in the form of key safety messages, to students who
walk or ride their bikes to school?
I look forward to hearing from you. Keep on
rapping.
