Learning Area: iExperience - Physical Education (PE)

Learning Observed

Today in PE we were learning to throw overarm. Katara had to step forward with the foot opposite to her throwing arm. Then take her throwing shoulder back and point her non throwing arm where she wanted to throw the ball. Today we were aiming at the cricket wicket.

Evidence of learning

Katara was able to hit the target. I wonder if she can still hit the target from further back?

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

Katara showed that she is developing her Capabilities in throwing overarm. She was working Collaboratively as she was taking turns at this activity. Katara was actively participating in this task (Participating and Contributing). She was carefully aiming the ball at the target (Thinking).

Learning Observed

As I worked alongside Katara today I asked her to identify different common body parts on a picture. She was able to correctly identify all of the 12 parts asked for. We then discussed opposites - Katara was able to correctly tell me the opposites to big, slow, hard and quiet. Katara was able to correctly tell me the functions and purpose of the eye, nose, mouth, and ears and was also able to tell me an object that melts and something that burns. I recorded Katara telling me about the picture in which she is able to identify some people having fun. The Video below illustrates her developing oral language skills.
