Never Stop Exploring!

This weekend I had the pleasure of exploring Muriwai Beach. After hiking up the trail to see the gannets, it was time to explore the numerous tide pools on offer. There was a plethora of wildlife on display: snails, crabs, starfish, and even an octopus!

Throughout my entire time there I was making connections to science concepts and Kaitiakitanga. Where do you like to explore? How can you make connections between PE explorations and other parts of your learning?

What are we LEARNING today?

The question I get most often is, "What are we doing in PE today?" I've always wondered why people say "do" and not "learn". How do we learn in PE? How do we want to learn? What learner qualities do we use in PE?

Stonefields ActivityDex

Has the thought, "What is there to do this weekend?" popped into your head? What about, "I'm bored. There's nothing to do here!"? I know I've had those thoughts a time or two. Then my good friends at The Physical Educator came up with this phenomenal idea: An ActivityDex!

What's an ActivityDex? It's an interactive Google Slides template to help us keep track of all the fun ways we can stay active throughout our lives. How cool would it be to have our own Stonefields School ActivityDex to Build Our Knowledge on activities we have in our own backyard? I bet we can have it filled out be the end of the school year! Which Hub will have the most creative entries? Add in your entries on our Stonefields ActivityDex!

Feel free to make a copy of the original template to do one with your own family!
