5.4. Training your muscles and heart (Torrefarrera, February 2021)

  • Report on the mobility.docx

    The activities on “Training your muscles and heart” planned for this mobility have been adapted to fit the requirements of the Health authorities. Trips were planned for March 2020, but we had to transform the mobility into an online meeting, from 8th to 11th of February. Students from France, Italy and Spain could attend the activities from their schools. German students were participating from home.

    Students introduced themselves in a cople of sentences and gave some information about their habits.

    An interactive activity: What do you know about Catalonia?

    Students participated in a Kahoot (about Catalonia) and a Quizziz (about Lleida)

    What does “healthy” mean to you?

    Students shared their ideas to create a word-cloud we displayed on Mentimeter.

    Virtual visit of the high school Institut Joan Solà

    We shared an animation of the building structure, and a guided visit recorded and explained by Torrefarrera students.

     

    Titanic activity

    The task was to work on the students’ physical skills: strength, endurance, agility and power. They had to work in groups of four through several exercises to show these skills: they showed that they were in a very good shape and that exercise/sport is always present in their lives as a must for a healthy lifestyle. The activity started with agility and ROM which led to a cool workout to increase their endorphins and ended with an incredible group challenge called “Titanic: How long does it take to drown?”

    We shared online the training sessions and students participated from their schools or from home.

    They reflected their experience on a Padlet where they could share their opinion on the Titanic workshop.

    Street Art Festival: virtual visit

    The group of students from Torrefarrera showed a video describing singular grafittis of the Torrefarrera Street Art Festival on the walls of the town. After the video, all students participating by groups in a LearningApps game with questions about the video.

    UNSTUCK Activity

    To show the connection between a correct physical posture and a proper performance of exercise/sport: The better your body posture is, the more profit your body will take of your physical activity. Students could realise that there are some muscles we must work with to correct our normal posture to avoid body pain and illnesses. Their reflections on the workshop were shared on lino.it.

    Teachers' Meeting

    In the afternoon, teachers met online to organise the final actions of the Erasmus+ project.


    Physical Education is always present as a part of all our schools curricula so, we expect that, in the future, our “ambassadors” will contribute to encourage their mates to join them into their healthy lifestyle challenge.
