During such times, we are\nnot an exception, so we too had to adapt to the \u201cnew norms\u201d. The priority was\nalways to keep our students safe but at the same time, we still tried to\ndo our best to deliver a fun and interesting PE lesson. This was a real challenge\nat the beginning since we had to think outside our comfort zone. Not all things\ncould be done in the same \u201cold way\u201d.  Months passed and looking back we\ncan say that both us PE teachers and students have accustomed ourselves to the\nchanges that we had to implement. The following were some of the changes that\nwe applied to our PE LESSONS:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
  1. Students had to bring with them their own outing bag together with a list\nof things that were needed in order to be used during the PE lesson. Some\nof these things included a personalized bib, disposable gloves, hand sanitizer,\nlabelled water bottle and a mask case.<\/li>
  2. During explanation time students were staggered around the whole pitch to\nkeep social distance. After each and every lesson all equipment was sanitized.<\/li>
  3. The school bought noodles which were used in order to be able to play tag\ngames, as students love such games. This avoided close contact between students\nwhen they were tagging each other.<\/li>
  4. We have been uploading weekly videos for all our students, and this served\nboth to compensate for the lesson lost due to timetable constraints and also to\nreach out to those students who are not able to attend school.<\/li>
  5. We have opted for activities that do not involve close contact.<\/li>
  6. We are also doing online lessons when children are quarantined.<\/li>
  7. In case of inclement weather, instead of a practical lesson, we taught our\nstudents important topics which will help them in their daily life. <\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    In spite of the pandemic,\nand even because of it, we had the chance to give our students more individual\nattention and feedback. This was due to the fact that we had half the class\nwith us whilst the other half were doing online PSCD in class. The students\u2019 well-being remains our priority\nas a P.E. department and we strive to give them the best education, regardless\nof any circumstance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
