Physical activities done during Quarantine - P.E.

During this Quarantine:

I have been doing ball games with my brother, sister and dad. We had been playing this one game where you can only catch with one hand and if you drop the ball you're out, there were rules such as only one hand, no switching and no holding the ball against your body when catching.

Piggie in the middle
When we played it there were two piggies and you could side bounce the ball or do a high pass.
The rules were if you threw the ball and a piggie caught then you two switch, sometimes high passes were not allowed and the non-piggies were not allowed to get closer by moving forward, they could only move left or right.

Health - Assessment

Wellbeings:
Physical=Taha tinana
Social= Taha whanau
Mental=Taha Hinengaro
Spiritual=Taha wairua

Meaning of whare tapa wha:
The meaning of whare tapa wha is a metaphor for the walls of a house = to our wellbeings. If one of the walls of the house fall (e.g. physical, social, mental and spiritual) then the person will become unstable like if your mental wellbeing is down then you will be down in the slumps and too sad or angry to be communicated with.

The concept of Hauora:
The concept of Hauora is that you can reflect on your own well beings and see if you can fix or build on them so that you can be a better person in general and that you don't have problems with e.g. Communicating with people, partaking in sports, connecting with your environment, maybe having a religion which you can believe in and being more social in general.

Scenario 1: effects on well-being

Social: Not being able to communicate with others because of a lack of knowledge around English.
Not being able to partake in class as well because of the lack of knowledge around English.

Mental: Being sad at school since Owen can't speak to others, having a negative opinion on subjects and maybe showing no compassion to others due to low morale. Having no energy to participate in activities due to mind being overflown by emotions.

Physical: Not talking to others because of the lack of knowledge in English and also not playing sports or games with pupils. Not going out to socialise on the weekends and also no sleepovers or play-days
 due to having no friends. Having headaches due to stress because of Owen struggling to understand people speaking English.

Spiritual: Not listening to teachers or others and ignoring everyone in general. Believing that no one wants to help him and disobeying rules.

To overcome bad wellbeing:

Social: Owen asks parents for extra help in learning English and to maybe get professional help.
Use the help (if he does get it) to help himself in school so that he can understand people.

Mental: To Speak to parents, siblings or someone close and tell them about worries and struggles and how to overcome them. Once Owen has done it then he will be less stressed

Physical: Try to play with the other kids by visualisation and learning how to play their games through sight. Try and understand the work in school by asking if there is someone who can understand Owen.

Spiritual: For Owen to believe in himself that he can learn English and to try to understand what others have to say. Use what beliefs he already have and use them to help himself in school.
