Homeschool Report. Health and PE.

Sharing is caring!

This is my submitted homeschool report for my son for health and PE. I have kept it as short as possible. I don’t know if it will be approved or not, but fingers crossed!   The report is for Queensland year 3- 4.

Homeschool Health and PE Report

D has been involved in many physical activities this year, including formal tennis lessons, solo kayaking, archery, bike riding, hiking, swimming, snorkelling and just being a boy. He has taught himself to do 1 arm cartwheels and to walk on his hands. He has improved his swimming tremendously, polishing his strokes. He is extremely active, strong and physically fit.

He has no interest in team sports. We don’t follow or pursue them.

He is immersed in a family with an active lifestyle and sees his father train for Ironman events. He understands what constitutes a healthy lifestyle and diet.

We have looked at diet from many angles, we do not subscribe to the standard food pyramid approach, we are mostly vegetarian and eat a Paleo type diet. He understands what this means. We also look at how diet changes with geographical  location and religion.

He is a natural negotiator and peace keeper, he does his best to moderate between his peers in play conflict situations.

We watched several Children’s TV series about mental health and wellbeing early in the year, including Being Me and A Great Big Adventure. He enjoyed these and took away the required messages.

He fully understands the importance of various health messages such as being sun safe and personal hygiene.

His understanding of playing by the rules is developed through board games.

I noticed that the idea of physical capabilities and stereotypes is on the Year 5 essential learnings. We talk about this a lot and like to blow stereotypes out of the water.

His physical abilities give him self-confidence and pride.

I have no concerns about his personal development  in  Health and PE.
