2A learn about cooperation through play in PE

In PE, class 2A have been participating in a range of activities and games to learn about the various aspects of cooperation. When questioned about cooperation during class discussions, the students responded confidently with words such as 'teamwork', 'communication', 'helping others' and 'caring for your friends'. Here's one of the many activities the girls enjoyed in the cooperative games unit:

Another aspect of the unit the students have been learning about is the concept of resilience. They are learning to recognize situations that may arise in PE and the appropriate level of response to that situation. One student exclaimed "if we fall over when we're running and we're not hurt, we can just get back up and go!" While another commented "If someone says something mean to me, I should just ask them to stop and tell the teacher if they are mean again". We will continue to work on developing resilience in PE throughout the year and empower our girls to be strong, smart and sensible.
