Promoting Active and Healthy Living

Why celebrate Physical Education Week? Physical Education Week offers South Australian students the chance to participate in a variety of activities and learn new skills. We are most fortunate to capture the commitment and enthusiasm of numerous teachers, other professionals and volunteers, to ensure the week appeals to and involves many local school communities. This significant event is a great cause for celebration and an opportunity for you to showcase the things your school does well and how much you value this important part of the curriculum. It’s the right time for us to stand up and be proud of the work we do and fly the flag for Health & Physical Education (Health & PE). We invite your school to participate in this event, one of the largest weeks in the South Australian school calendar that celebrates the importance of active and healthy living in the lives of South Australian children. We encourage you to join over 35,000 students, from more than 150 schools from all sectors, involving student’s families and local communities, to again ensure this week is the most significant Health & PE week of its kind in Australia. We invite you to join with us in 2017 to celebrate our theme “We like to Move it!’Physical Education Week provides an opportunity for classroom and Health & PE teachers to promote and incorporate health and wellbeing activities and events into their weekly planning. Physical Education Week is a celebration of health and wellbeing; being active, learning about how to look after ourselves and encouraging schools and their communities to think about ideas and ways of working to incorporate this into their school in a sustainable way.

Promoting PE Week at your schoolLet everyone know what PE Week is all about! Promote via your school newsletter, flyers, email communications to parents, noticeboards, and your school website.Use the #PEWeek17 hashtag and promote your activities. We encourage you to use this information to fly the flag for Health & Physical Education in your school. Use the information below as examples of what you can share to promote Physical Education Week in your school!

Physical Education Week - Celebrating the importance of Health & Physical Education – Health & PE is an essential area of the curriculum that provides real opportunities for children to learn how to lead active & healthy lives – now and in the future. It recognises and actively promotes the importance of health and physical education and physical activity for physical, social, emotional and spiritual wellbeing. This has been celebrated through Physical Education Week 2017.

PE Week 13-17 November, Week 5, Term 4

This year as part of our celebrations for PE Week, we are hosting (insert activities) on (insert dates). Parent helpers are welcome and would be most appreciated, however please feel free to just come along and support your child being active and having fun! Include what, when, where and who, why not include a photo, what exciting/unique activities are being undertaken?

Help your children to find FUN things to do besides watching television - Play schoolyard games at home like hopscotch and jump rope, make instruments out of kitchen items and dance to the music you make, play some one-on-one basketball or netball. Limit the amount of TV you watch, try having a TV free day once a week with your family.

Be a positive role model for your child - Show your children how you are active by taking the stairs instead of the elevator, get off the bus one or two stops early and walk the rest of the way, go for a walk after dinner with the family.

Spend quality active time together - As a family plan some trips that are free. There are many free activities like a family walk or a game in the backyard, visiting the local park, beach or a picnic.

Walk yourself happy during PE week!As adults, we know we need 30 minutes of moderate intensity physical activity on most days. Our kids need even more! Don’t think too much about it, just do it! Even a short, brisk walk of just 10 minutes can give you an energy and mood boost. If you park the car 7-8 minutes away from school and walk the rest of the way at both drop off and pick up time, you’ll have accumulated your 30 minutes already. Have a look at Australia’s Physical Activity and Sedentary Behaviour Guidelineswww.health.gov.au/internet/main/publishing.nsf/Content/health-pubhlth-strateg-phys-act-guidelines

Over 150 School communities are taking the challenge and being active this week as Physical Education Week (13 - 17 November) is put into practice by up to 35,000 school students in over 150 schools across the state. With current rates of obesity and inactivity increasing there has never been a more important time to promote the theme of ‘We like to Move it!’

Why not try this? Get your students to blog what activities the school/class has participated in, link this blog in with your school newsletter and make it available to download via the school website.

Please send any school promotion (newsletters) or media information (newspaper mentions) you develop to ACHPER (SA) by #PEWeek17 hashtag or email [email protected]

The following information is from the ACHPER (SA) developed Play with Purpose: For Fundamental Movement Skills (FMS) Teaching resource. This resource is a South Australian first that was developed to support educators in planning, delivering and assessing early childhood FMS. This resource has been designed to support educators and enable all students to refine their FMS. Photos, illustrations, and observation checklists are featured to support the development and achievement of these important skills. This resource has been funded by SACPSSA and managed by ACHPER (SA). A must for all PE teachers, and early years classroom teachers.

The following three pages highlight some of the useful information, support materials, activities and games included in the resource.

Select developmentally appropriate activitiesYoung people grow and develop at different rates. If activities are too easy players will become bored and learning progress may falter. If activities are too hard players will become anxious and learning progress may falter. The concept that explains the balance between activity challenge and motivation to participate is optimal challenge (Csikszentmihalyi & Nakamura, 2002), the zone where development will occur as the challenge is believed to be achievable. Modifying games to meet the development needs of players can be considered through the CHANGE IT formula (Schembri, 2005). Change:

Coaching (teaching) style: e.g. group work, individual practice tasks, direct instruction, etc.

How games are scored

Area (dimensions) of play space

Number of players

Game rules

Equipment

Inclusion: e.g. single gender groupings, catering for special needs, ability grouping, etc.

Time (duration) of the game, or time an individual player (or team) is allowed to keep possession.



Class Games with Purpose

Beat the Ball (Striking & Fielding)Time: 15 - 20 minutesArea: ‘Diamond’ shape playing areaLearning Intention: To improve accuracy, power & placement of the two handed strike & overarm throw. To develop team strategies for striking & fielding games.Equipment:• 1 x batting tee• 1 x ball• 1 x bat• 4 x bases / flat marker discsProblem-solving:Hit the ball to place it to provide maximum opportunity to run the bases. Pass the ball quickly and effectively.Instructions:• Create a ‘diamond’ shape playing area with 4 bases.• A batter hits the ball off a batting tee to a space inside

the ‘V’ and runs anti-clockwise around the bases (run to 1st base first) while fielders retrieve the ball and pass it around the bases in the opposite direction (throw to 3rd base first) in a race to see who completes their circuit and gets to home base first.

Bombardment (Manipulative Skills)Time: 5 - 10 minutesArea: Square play spaceLearning Intention: To improve throwing accuracy & power. To enhance fielding & striking team strategies.Equipment:• 1 x fit ball• 1 x soft ball per personInstructions:• Create a square play space. In the centre of the

square place a fit ball.• Allocate children into four teams, one teams to each

side of the square• Each player is given a soft ball. When the teacher

says ‘go’ the aim is to hit the ball with a throw and for the team to move the ball over another team’s sideline.

Change It:• Size of the ball• Size of the square• Type of throw - underarm, overhead• Kick the ball rather than throwFocus It:• Where should you aim your throw?• Which foot do you step forward onto when

throwing the ball?• How do you generate more power in your throw?• Where do you best position yourself on the line

to best influence the result?• How do you best defend your line?

Change It:• Shape of the playing area• Kick from a kicking tee• Fielders move / do not move with the ball• Emphasise a hitting direction - set up a target for

bonus points if the ball goes through or lands on the target

• Use grip ball mits or softball gloves• For a fielding exercise throw from the batting plateFocus It:• Where is the best place to hit the ball?• Where is the best place to stand to field the ball?• How do you position your body as a fielder to stop

the ball getting past you?• How long does the swing of the bat differ if you want

to hit short or long?Adapted from: Australian Council for Health, Physical Education and Recreation (ACHPER) SA Branch, Play with Purpose: For Fundamental Movement Skills Teaching, p28, http://www.achpersa.com.au/wb/pages/resources/play-with-purpose-for-fundamental-movement-skills-teaching.php.

Paddle Bat Tennis (Net-Court/Wall Games)Time: 10 - 15 minutesArea: Asphalt, indoor spaceLearning Intention: To improve striking skills (forehand, backhand & volley). To develop team strategies for net & wall games.Equipment:• 1 x paddle bat per child• 1 x marker per child• 1 x ball per group of 8Instructions:• Allocate children into groups of 4. Each child has a

paddle bat and a marker.• Playing fours are allocated another group to

challenge by the teacher. Players set up a court with the markers they have collected as illustrated:

• The players can decide on the size of the court. If one playing pair is far better than another, then the better paid have their court space larger (to make it easier for the other team to hit into, and harder for the pair in that space to ‘defend’ as they have more ground to cover).

• The neutral space between the courts is the ‘net’.• The game starts with one player (the ‘server’)

putting the ball into play (a ‘serve’) by hitting it from their side of the court over the net and into the other team’s side of the court.

• The ball must bounce before a ‘receiver’ (the player returning serve) hits the ball back over the net, and also during play (a ‘rally’).

• The ball is not hit alternatively by partners, but by the player closest to the ball.

• The ‘rally’ ends when the ball bounces twice, is hit into the net or hit out of bounds. The team that wins the ‘rally’ earns a point.

• The ‘server’ continues to serves until one of the teams gets to 5 points.

Change It:• Serve diagonally across court, like occurs in tennis• Apart from the serve, permit the ball to be hit on

the full/ before it bounces• Use a bench as a net in place of a neutral space to

hit overFocus It:• Why is it important to watch the ball hit your

paddle?• Hit through the ball by extending the hand

holding the paddle bat towards where you want the ball to go.

Pool Noodle Golf (Target Games)Time: 10 - 15 minutesArea: Outdoor or Indoor SpaceLearning Intention: To improve the two handed strike. To develop strategies that can be applied to a range of target games. Equipment:• Crates equal to half the number of children in the class• Flat disc markers (same number as crates)• 1 x pool noodle per child• 1 x small soft ball per pair of childrenInstructions:• Set up a course with the number of ‘tees’ (start) and ‘holes’

(finish) equalling half the number of children in the class, as they will be playing in pairs. Use crates with the open side facing the ‘tee’ as ‘holes’. Use rubber dots / markers as ‘tees’.

• Vary the distance between the ‘tees’ and ‘holes’ around the course.

• Label each tee numerically (e.g. 1 - 15)• Each player is given a pool noodle to use as a golf club and

a small soft nerf ball.

• Playing pairs are allocated to a starting ‘tee’ and when both complete the ‘hole’ (get the ball in the hole) they move in numerical order to the next tee (e.g. start at tee 8, move to tee 9 etc.)

• The aim is to roll the ball from the ‘tee’ into the ‘hole’. Players take turns to hit their ball from the ‘tee’ towards the ‘hole’. Where the ball stops is where the players takes their next hit. This pattern continues until the ball rolls into the ‘hole’. Players then go to the next ‘tee’ and ‘hit-off’.

Change It:• The arrangement of the course• The type, shape or size of the ballFocus It:• Why should you keep your head still as you hit the ball?• Stand side on, knees slightly bent and shoulder width apart

to stay balanced as you hit the ball.Adapted from: Australian Council for Health, Physical Education and Recreation (ACHPER) SA Branch, Play with Purpose: For Fundamental Movement Skills Teaching, pp78 & 80, http://www.achpersa.com.au/wb/pages/resources/play-with-purpose-for-fundamental-movement-skills-teaching.php.

A quality health and physical education (HPE) program will enable students to:• Develop the knowledge, understanding and skills needed to make decisions and take

action that leads to a healthy and physically active lifestyle for themselves and the community in which they live.

It takes a quality health and physical education professional to provide:• A developmentally appropriate and meaningful program that enhances the physical, • cognitive, and affective development of all students• Inclusive instruction that maximises engagement by all students in class activities• Ongoing assessment and feedback to all students that is used to guide student

learning• A program that supports lifelong learning toward leading a healthy and physically

active life

How much time does your school allocate to HPE?If your physical education program does not meet the recommended time mandate, or is under threat from the crowded curriculum remind your peers that:• Evidence suggests that time in physical education and physical activity* may actually

improve academic learning. Research conducted has found no negative effect on academic performance when physical education and physical activity time has been increased during the school day.

• A major barrier to increasing physical education time in schools is the perception that time spent in activities such as physical education, physical activity and recess will undermine academic learning but nothing could be further from the truth.

*Physical education and physical activity ARE NOT the same but there is evidence that when classroom teachers use activity breaks this can result in an

improvement in cognitive function and classroom behaviour.

Health and Physical Education Teachers : Why are you important?


ACHPER (SA) Minimum Time Recommendations for Physical and Sport Education

ACHPER (SA) recommends: • A strengths-based approach to H&PE curriculum that acknowledges that most students come

to the learning area feeling positive about their health and their participation in physical activity (ACARA, 2012)

• That all schools have access to qualified H&PE specialist teachers. • That consistent with the Melbourne Declaration (2008) H&PE be positioned as an essential

component of the curriculum for students within the compulsory ages of schooling (R-10); with physical education occurring weekly (ACARA, 2012).

• The reintroduction of “daily physical education” for all early years and primary school settings because of the vital role played by physical activity in healthy brain and body development (Ratey, 2008).

• The reaffirmation of the importance of “active schools” (Fox, 1996; Pill, 2006) where schools become sites that act to enhance daily physical activity accumulation.

• That eighty hours H&PE in curriculum time per year (ACARA, 2012) is the minimum time entitlement for H&PE for students within the compulsory age of schooling, and that 100 minutes per week is the minimum expectation for physical education (Government of South Australia, 1996)

Questions to ask about your school1. Has our school developed an up to date written Health and Physical Education policy?2. Do we currently meet or surpass the minimum time mandates for Sport & Physical Education?3. Do we have a planned and sequential program that addresses key content descriptors and

elaborations of AusVELS?4. Does our HPE program provide learning experiences that are inclusive of all students and are

safe, enjoyable and promote an active and healthy lifestyle?5. Does our HPE program include ongoing, authentic assessment as an integrated part of

learning?

If you answered No or Maybe to any of these questions and would like support in further developing your program, please contact the Professional Learning Team at ACHPER (SA) Branch.
