Intro

Hi everyone,

I am Illana Radame and I have created this blog so as to share with you my experience at the MIE throughout the year and how physical education would be an essential tool in my daily life. I have always love practicing sports since childhood as I was active from a very young age. I have choose to take P.E at tertiary level as since college, I found this subject very interactive and interesting. It also helped me to develop many skills.

So I hope that all of you will found my blog interesting and instructive.

In my course we had a module for basketball where we learn about many different techniques. Some of the techniques were: chest pass, set shot and lay up shot.

In this video you can see that I was practising my lay up shot which was quite good.⛹️🏽‍♀️🏀

It was me and my friends performing a sega for the Prize Giving Ceremony.💃🏽🎉

It was the last time we all dance together because of the Covid-19 but it was a real pleasure to share this last moment with them.

I was in blue performing a dance call Sega with my friend for her SC final exams.

Sega (French: Séga) is one of the major music genres of Mauritius and Réunion. The other genres common in Mauritius are its fusion genre Seggae and Bhojpuri songs while in Réunion there is also seggae and maloya. It has origins in the music of slaves as well as their descendants Mauritian Creole people and is usually sung in Mauritian Creole or Réunionese Creole. Sega is also popular on the islands of Agaléga and Rodrigues as well as Seychelles, though the music and dances differ and it is sung in these islands' respective creole languages. In the past, the Sega music was made only with traditional instruments like ravanne and triangle, it was sung to protest against injustices in the Mauritian society, this particular version of the Sega is known as Santé engagé. Other types of Sega (Traditional Mauritian Sega, Sega tambour Chagos, Sega tambour of Rodrigues Island) have been included in UNESCO's Intangible Cultural Heritage lists. Source:Wikipedia

So it is a track and field event in which an athlete throws a heavy disc- called a discus which aim is to throw it at a farther distance than their opponents.

There are different techniques in discus throw that are standing discus throw, rotational discus throw.

As you can see in this video I was practising my discus throw mainly the standing technique.

I was scrolling on tiktok and saw this interesting video. The first thing that came to my mind was to share it with you. I had to show you how smoking and eating unhealthy foods every day would be harmful to all your organs. Don't take anything for granted, your organs are the most precious things you have, so take care of them. Be responsible and kind to your body

Something to think about …

PERFECTION GUARANTEES FAILURE. Perfection is not a target, it’s an excuse we tell ourselves to stay the way we are. By making the choice to eat perfectly or poorly, you’ll always choose poorly because you know you can’t hit perfection. Perfection is not a real standard, it’s setting you up for failure. And then you make one bad choice during the day and you think the day is ruined and you may as well start again tomorrow because today wasn’t perfect.

PROGRESS OVER PERFECTION. Focus on making small improvements. Make the goal one step ahead of where you are now, and then when you hit that move it one step further again. You’ll start to build momentum and soon enough you’ll be living the life that you dream of…

Kahoot!

Kahoot! is a game-based learning platform, used as educational technology in schools and other educational institutions.

Kahoot! can benefit my teaching and learning. It is used for educational purposes but while playing games. It will test the knowledge of my students through playing. Using kahoot as a teaching to can help students to learn better because it will be more fun and interesting. They will tend to participate more in class activities and they will be more motivated. Students will be more enthusiastic to answer the questions as there is a challenge mode, where teachers can use it to challenge their students. This can also benefit teaching and learning as there are two options in favor of learners, that is the 'teach' option for visual classrooms and the 'assign' option for self paced learning.

Here is the link. Just take a look to see how fun, creative and interesting this learning platform is

Encouraging your child to be physically active

Most of the time, in all families, our parents don't have the time to practise a sport or to keep fit. They tend to be more focus on their work and career than on the physical well-being of their loved ones, primarily their children.

From now on parents should change their bad habits and they should be more focus on the well being of their children. Parents can help their children to be physically active in many different ways as follow:

Lead by example- be physically active yourself.

Make sure that some family outings offer opportunities for physical activity, such as playing sport together.

Encourage your child to walk or ride their bicycle for short trips, rather than rely on you to drive them.

Support your child's efforts in sport. Make sure you're there at each match, cheering them on from the sidelines.

Set time limits on sedentary activities like computer games and television.

Consult with your child's school on ways to encourage greater participation in sports and physical activities.

Benefits of sport for children

Practising a sport since a young age can be very beneficial for our young generations. That's why many schools and the Ministry of Sports and Culture put a lot of emphasise and efforts for young people and children to practise a particular sport. Here are some of the benefits of sport participation:

Reduced risk of obesity

Increased cardiovascular fitness

Healthy growth of bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons

Improved coordination and balance

A greater ability to physically relax and, therefore, avoid the complications of chronic muscular tension (such as headache or back ache)

Improved sleep

Mental health benefits, such as greater confidence

Improved social skills

Improved personal skills, including cooperation and leadership

Reducing inactivity may be more effective in achieving overall increases in energy levels in young children than putting the emphasis on increasing involvement in sporting activities. Taking steps to reduce children's sedentary time is important

Sport and Children

• Only six out of 10 children aged between 5 to 14 years participate in sport outside school.

• More boys (70%) than girls (56%) participate in sports.

• Evidence suggests that physically active children are more likely to mature into physically active adults.

• Reducing physical inactivity is just as important as increasing physical activity.

• Aim for at least 60 minutes of physical activity each day and a maximum of two hours per day using electronic media including TV

• Parents can encourage their children to play sport in many ways, including through role modelling.

Hope you will be more motivated to do exercises.

MAKING USE OF GOOGLE CLASSROOM

Last week the use of google classroom was introduced to us in our ICT class. we discussed about the benefits of using the app and how useful it will be for us in the future as aspiring teachers.

We also learned about LMS (Learning Management System) that is a cloud-based platform, normally used for administering learning content, tracking and reporting learner progress. An example of LMS is Google classroom.

Then after all the explanation about google classroom and after visioning a video based on it, we were asked to create our own google classroom and to add our peers as our learners. 

it was very interesting to use google classroom for the first time because it helped me to discover a lot of things such as how to add contents, assignments, quizzes and so on. And I hope my learners will make good use of it.
