Motivation is also an important topic, without the encouragement from peers around you, or the enjoyment of exercise outside, it can be difficult to stay positive sometimes. Mr. Zafati had this helpful advice, “I think it’s always nice to work out and exercise while having fun. At the beginning of this online marathon, I sent them posters about the benefits of physical education, and uploaded a lot of visuals to enhance the idea and to motivate them to keep exercising.”
Similarly, at the secondary school the students have had a great range of activities to work on. In particular, the Grade 6 students have been learning Capoeira, Grade 7 Jiu-Jitsu, Grade 8 developing warm up tutorials, Grade 9 jump rope with six elements displayed, and Grade 10 have been doing online group dance performances. In these latest units, students work at home based on the guidelines given by the teachers, and record videos for feedback.
