Teachers.TV

I watched a video of a school from london, which encourages its students to bicycling. It is great because they have some curses where the children learn about their body and how to be healthy. Also the school takes a big part on this because they include these courses in their curricular activity, the students learn about their respiration system and how to improve their power pedals. And also they can go every day bicycling to the school. I think this its a fabulous idea, because the children have to do exercices and it is really cool that the school helps them to have a sport which can be include in the daily life of the children. They are really happy with the idea and the 80% agree that its a positive way to do exercices and the 33 % feel better prepared, which means that the proyect was a success.
I think here in Chile we have a poor Physical Education in our school, and thats mean that we have a horrible health. The government is not worry about the health of the children. In the school they are all day eating junk food and they have like 2 or 3 hours per week to do exercices in the school. Thats not enough because a 10 years old´s children is growing up and he/she needs and adult who teach him/her how to have a healthy life.
In the future when we become teachers maybe we can´t help our students to do exercices but we can teach them how to eat in a healthy way and also we can talk with the parents when we will see a health problem.
I liked the video because I think that those kind of school we need in this country.

  1. I like your post about this matter, I think that how you said befofe chileans children are not growing in a healthy way, its fault of their parent and the goverment.
    in some schools like polivalente de la pintana. they teach about this matter, and also they give to the children healthy food and they closed a mini shop inside the school to childreen dont buy junk food instead of fruits or stuff like that.

    well
    that all

  2. Hi Barbara
    well, the videos from that page were very good. I think, that here in Chile schools should motivate kids to do exercise. Also it is excellent read that teachers are incorporating the sports into the education. Teach them how to eat, or how important is take care of their health doing exercises, is one step for a better chilean society.

    take care Barbara, good post.
    bye:D

  3. You are right when you say that we should improve our life style doing some exercises in our free time. But, meanwhile, i do not think it is the most adequate idea in our city, at least. Since, here, in Santiago city, we do not have a good politic related to the proper driving for this vehicle. Moreover, we do not have a determined safe and whole way to drive and in which we could go to everywhere in Santiago city.
