IRB Coaching Level 1: Indonesian Rugby Union

This was a great little course I participated in over the weekend - Thank you Indonesian Rugby

Can I just say... It took a lot longer than 8 hours!!!

Gymnastics - Grades 1-5 - Travelling & Jumping Gymnastics Skills Cards

Lacking resources I made my own gymnastics skill cards to help develop peer coaching

The cards are designed to accompany my G1 gymnastics class "Parts High & Parts Low"

The cards cover: Caterpillar Walk, Bunny-Hop, Cat Spring, Kicking Horses, Front Support and Back Support, Monkey Walk, Crab Walking, and a variety of jumping shapes that students can try and make in the air. 

The cards are adapted from the work of Val Sabin

Gymnastic Skills Cards - Travelling & Jumping

Gymnastics - Grade 1-5: The Five Basic Jumps

The Five Basic Jumps - The card is designed to be printed back to back
 Printable copies are available through this link: The Five Basic Jumps

G1 Gymnastics: Parts High & Parts Low

I have designed the six lesson plans to be printed back to back with the warm-up on one side and the floorwork on the other.

Adapted from the work of Val Sabin, I have rejigged them and adapted them for working in a G1 PE class.

Essential Agreements G2 - G5

Three stages in creating our Essential Agreements in PE.
1. Have the students answer the question "in PE we think it is essential to..."
2. Place their answers into a programme that will highlight the most common words used by the students when answering the question (e.g. worditout or wordle)
3. Using the most common words, work with the students to create a list of essential agreements we can all work towards this school year.

The most frequently used words for all four classes combined (G2-G5)

Word Frequency inquiry with the G4's Essential Agreements

Day 1 @ PIE: Essential Agreements in Physical Education

The students get to record what they think is essential and important to their own and others learning in physical education. Once the responses have been agreed upon, we will make a list of the ideals that as a class/grade we will work with/towards this school year.

A Proposed Draft Conceptual Map for Physical Education

In designing and creating this map I took the main ideas that underpin our physical education lessons and separated them into the three different types of learning in order to help organize them around how we would teach. The concepts are broken down into Conceptual, Competency and Character.

Conceptual ideas are based on understanding and are therefore able to be taught through inquiry
Competencies are taught through a model that supports skills (context, deconstruction of expert performance, modeling, guided practice and independent practice).
Character learning is taught through a process of considering, acting and reflecting

Grade 3: The Relationships Between the Effectiveness of Team Play and the Sporting Level of A Team (Football & Ethics in Sport)

Linked to: Grade 3 Questions, Puzzles, Wonderings and Statements on Ethics in Sport (Football)

The above link was created by the students of Grade 3 at the start of the unit. Now the unit is coming to an end I have chosen a couple of relevant questions (below) generated by that first exercise on ethics that hopefully the students can answer themselves.

Please note: All questions have been reproduced in the students own words.

I moved some of the answers into a table to make them easier to read! The answers below are ripe for discussion when we revisit the concept of ethics in sport next school year. Particularly when we examine the concept of relationships in team sports.
