\"This<\/a>
This is me joining in on the Secondary Programme’s flash mob on Tuesday!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

When I think of PE, I remember it as a minor subject in my elementary school, only an hour-block once a week. From grades 4-7, each grade level was assigned a single sport to learn and play all year (kickball, T-ball, volleyball, and basketball).<\/p>\n

I remember being not-so-athletic back in grade four and would dread PE\u00a0because kickball meant\u00a0running\u00a0<\/em>and if I\u00a0struck out, I\u00a0let my team down.<\/em>\u00a0One day, I was up on the plate, the ball was rolled to me, and I actually kicked it far! I was ecstatic and started running to first base, only to trip on a jagged rock poking from the ground, resulting to the biggest gash on my knee. Needless to say I could not participate in PE after that because I was always on the sidelines. Even when my knee healed, I shied away from participating whenever possible and developed a sense of disconnect with my physical well-being\u00a0(both education and activities) even in the later years.<\/p>\n

This Tuesday, a colleague and I happened upon a flash mob at the Martha Piper Plaza, which turned out to be the Secondary Programme’s Dance Play flash mob. It was so amazing to see people moving and dancing\u00a0and having<\/del>\u00a0being fun<\/em>. The energy was so contagious, we decided to join and it just made me think that this is what was essentially lost for me in anything related to physical literacy: FUN.<\/p>\n

I hope to gain more knowledge in class on different ways I can make my future PE classes fun and full of energy, at the very least have my students not<\/em> dread PE. I can’t wait to learn from my peers especially during Group Teach sessions!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
