THEORETICAL CLASS. 

First of all, we did an Activity in order to analize the general objective of PE for Primary Education.
The activity consist on some objectives and we have to classify them in three groups.
-Cognitive-motor objectives.
-Motor objectives.
-Actitudinal objectives.
For example:
Objective: To know and value one`s body and physical activity as a means of exploration and enjoyment of their motor possibilities, of relating with others and as a resource to organize free time.
Cognitive-motor objectives:  Organize free time. 
Motor objectives:  Exploration of the body.
Actitudinal objectives: Value one`s body and physical activity.

Moreover, we were talking about interdisciplinary activities. We had some lectures in order to know more about that.

This link is about different activities in maths, language arts, science and social. Here it uses the integration where combine two or more concepts from different areas to help students to see the relation of knowledge. Also it uses the physical activity.

This link is another lecture about Models for interdisciplinary teaching in physical education. 
There are three types:
-Connected model. 
-Shared model.
-Partnership model.

Then, we had to do by couples own interdisciplinary activity. 
My activity consist on the shared model for the third cycle of Primary Education. We work on two subjects Music and Physical Education.
Students are going to learn things about Egypt through a choreograpy and also with a song. 

You can see own activity in this link. Where also you can see the learning objectives, contents, organization, materials and the methodology.

OPINION.

Related with the activity that we did, I think that is useful because it is neccesary to differentiate objectives and if they are motor objectives, cognitive-motor objectives or actitudinal objectives.

Related to the interdisciplinary activity it was difficult for me to understand well what we have to do for invent our activity. But it is importantto read first some articles about what is the interdisciplinary activity. And later you have to choose the type of model that you are going to use in order to develop the activity. Then, you have to choose a topic and think in how you are going to explain it with at least one subject and Physical Education. 

Finally, I chose Egypt like a topic and Music and Physical education as a subjects to teach things related to Egypt.
