What you’ll learn
I can perform a range of fitness related activities and identify areas of fitness that I can do well and where I need to improve.
Key learning points
- Move: taking part in activities that build fitness gives us awareness of our personal fitness and what can be improved.
- Think: reflecting on our fitness during fitness challenges is important to help recognise our fitness improvements.
- Feel: striving to focus on all areas of fitness helps to develop personal integrity towards our health.
- Connect: striving to support one another through fitness assessments develops cooperation and trust.
Words to know
- measurement
- quantifies how much, how long, how heavy or how fast something is
- challenge
- a demand on the body that would exceed our normal effort
- improve
- to make better or to increase quality
Common mistakes
Your fitness is fixed and cannot be changed.
Fitness can improve slowly and over time. Measuring our fitness only tells us what we can do on that day.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Replace language of fitness testing to challenge and measure. Pupils should be encouraged to engage in fitness-based activities as a way to challenge themselves rather than create labels of how 'fit' they are that might later become fixed.
