PSAHPERD

I went to the PSAHPERD convention for the weekend which I really enjoyed. I went to a lot of brilliant sessions such as, learning about using an iPad for P.E., Jumping with the Mars Stars, Cross Fit, Making moves and Tai Chi. Everything was very varied and interesting.

Jumping with the Mars Stars was definitely my favourite! They are a group of children who have formed a jump rope team and fundraise for the heart foundation. They were excellent, they showed off all their skills to us such as double dutch, speed skipping , performing push ups and cartwheels while skipping! They were amazing! After they performed, they taught us some of their skills! I was taught how to double dutch and speed skip. It really opened my eyes and showed me why jump rope should be part of a Physical Education curriculum. I will definitely try to incorporate jump rope into my next teaching practice.

The only thing bad about the weekend, was I never got to go tubing because the resort doesn't open till the 28th of November!
