Year 7 Healthy World – Term 2

This term students have been analysing the range of influences on enhancing an athletic performance, with a specific focus on communication and motor development. Within practical and theoretical classes, students have been applying their knowledge of movement sequences and concepts to improve their own performance in a throwing or running event – all to put in our best effort during Athletics Carnival at the end of the term! 

To demonstrate their understanding, students have filmed their performance and are using that footage to apply feedback models and communication strategies to improve. To demonstrate their learning, students will present this information in a multimodal presentation such as a PowerPoint presentation.

Year 8 Healthy World – Term 2

In Term 2, Year 8 Healthy World students have been investigating their own personal nutrition and movement habits, as well as explore widespread health issues facing Australia. Through this investigation, students have been analysing daily eating and movement habits and strategize ways in which to improve their overall health based on recommendations for their age and gender.

In the practical classroom, students have been participating in various ways in which to exercise and learning of correct movement sequences and means of training to improve fitness. By the end of term, students will have created and performed a short promotional fitness video that encourages the Foxwell community to engage in healthy movement and instructs them on how to complete a series of movement sequences.
