P.E. in 3rd class

Posted on October 18, 2017 by tkelly

3rd Class have been working on developing good running skills and learning about staying healthy. They have been practising finding and recording their heart rate (beats per minute/BPM) and have been comparing their BPM before and after exercise.

Today’s homework:

Before running: Record in your homework journal your heart rate BPM by setting a timer to 1 minute and counting how many beats your heart makes in that time.
Run to a fast paced song e.g. Sensitive Guy by Busted. Songs cannot be posted here for Copyright reasons but there are plenty of great running songs online (run a safe search on www.kidrex.org to find many great running songs).
After running: Record in your homework journal your heart rate BPM by setting a timer to 1 minute and counting how many beats your heart makes in that time.
Most importantly, have fun!
