First of all, we have to do the Activity 3: Teaching Physical Education.
In this activity we had to do groups of four people and we have to write differences between Physical Education and other subjects which are taught in Primary Education. For doing it, we had to consider the spaces, materials, resources, characteristic of the teacher, what thing students have to do etc.
Classroom Subject:
-Students are most of the time sitting on a desk and in a classroom.
-There are different teachers with different types of methodology. Maths, Language, English...
-Students wear what they like. They don´t need specific clothes.
-Evaluation is different.
Physical Education:
-Students have to learn how to move.
-There is a specific teacher.
-Students need specific confortable clothes.
-Evaluation is different.
I think that it is important that children practice the sport or whatever because with an exam the teacher can only check if the student memorizes the contents rather than if they know how to do it.
This is the Activity 3.
Later, we were talking about the purpose of Physical Education in children and we took away some ideas like:
-Learn to be an active person (Physical person).
-Learn to be a healty person.
-Learn to cooperate with the class.Moreover, we continued with the Lesson 1.
We saw the Models of the movement functions in Primary Education which are:
-Knowledge function. For example learn numbers throught the exercise.
-Anatomical-funcional function. Related to motor skills
-Aesthetic and expressive function.
-Comunicative and relational.
-Cathartic and hedonistic. Realease stress, tension.
-Hygienic.
-Agonistic. Related to the competition with yourself and with others.
-Compensation. Compensate the movement that children do.
In the following link you can see more detail these models of movement functions.
Furthermore, we watched two videos. The first one is about how the lifestyle changes. this video shows that we have to eat well, Move more and you are going to live more.

I think that parents, society and school have the responsability to inculcate in children the importance to do physical activities and to eat in a healthy way.
The other video is about physical activity in children and adolescents.

I think that we have to be active and as the video says we have to do 60 minutes of exercise per day.
Later, we were talking about problems associated with the lifestyle. Sometimes the society has to change because it is not healthy.
Besides, we talked about the sport model and sport hero. Children know more names of man sport person that names of women sport person. I was thinking in this and it is true because I know more names of man than women. And the most names that the majority knows are about football because the society shows what it wants to show. Also these heroes are thin and this can provoke eating disorders, low self-esteem and other things in children.
OPINION
Related to the activity 3, I think that is useful for us as a future techers because we can see the differences between a classroom subject and PE. As I explain before there are differences in the methodology, in the materials, resources and also in the teacher because a PE teacher has to be more active person than a classroom teacher. The classroom teacher has to know other things that the PE do not neccesary know.
Moreover, I think that the Lesson 1 can teach us interesting things. For example, as I explain before the movement functions because we have to know what function has a movement. For example the fitness has the hygienic function.
Besides, the first video is useful for teachers because they can use it to show students how the life style change and what they have to change in order to not be a unhealthy person. Students have to eat well an appropiate food.
The second video is also useful for teachers as a tool and for students as a way of become aware of the important to be a healthy person.
