INTRODUCTION
 

Quite often we think of PE as a time to escape our regular classes. Instead of taking notes and practice writing paragraphs we stretch, we run and we throw balls at each other in the gym. Even though this may be true, we should also ask ourselves, "Why do we do this?"

Today we begin our unit on Active Health and hopefully we will get a better understanding as to why we take PE in school. We will begin our first lesson with our focus on the word "health".

Use the first sheet of your work package to create a concept map describing what you think "healthy living" means.
