First aid

In this unit we are going to learn to know how to look after a bodily injury like:

• Nosebleed
• Sprained ankle
• Fractures (broken bones)
• Dislocation
• Unconscious, without heartbeat and breathing

We are going to work using a cooperative technique, Jigsaw. 

1. First up, get in five:

2. Then share the bodily injury between the people of the team.

3. Look for the people of the other teams that have to investigate about the same injury that you. Meet together and look for information on the Internet.

4. Learn how to do that and practice.

5. After that, come back with your original team and explain what have you learnt. 

6. All teams have to make a work explaining all the techniques that you have learnt. You can make a video, a poster, a podcast....

You have to send to the teacher before 18th february.

Watch this rubric. The teachers are going to use it for evaluating the work.

The warm-up in P.E.

A warm-up is a group of exercises performed inmmediately before more strenuous physical activity. It helps to body to adjust from a state o rest to a state of exercise. Warming-up is an essential element of every physical education lesson as it prepares the body appropiartely for involvement in the main body of the lesson. Then the warm-up prevents body injuries.
Every warm-up should include:

1. Pulse-raising aerobic activities to prepare the cardiovascular system and warm the muscles of the body.
2. Mobilityexercises to prepare the joints.
3. Streches to prepare the muscles and their associated ligaments and connective tissue.

The warm-up should begin with very gentle exercises to allow a steady increse in the body and muscle temperature. This gentle exercise could take the form of a game or jogging, depending on the size of the area, and can then be followeb by mobility and streching exercises. Mobility exercises increase the range of movement of the limbs whilst streching improves the flexibilityrange of the muscles.

You have several examples in this video.

Now, you have to prepare a 10 warm-up exercises:

• 2 Pulse-raising aerobic activities to prepare the cardiovascular system and warm the muscles of the body.
• 4 Mobilityexercises to prepare the joints.
• 4 Streches to prepare the muscles and their associated ligaments and connective tissue.

You have to do this activity in groups of four. Follow these steps:

1. Think the exercises together.
2. Everyone has to be recorded doing 3 exercises.
3. At least 3 people of the group have to be recorded doing 5 exercises.

You have until the 26th of november to deliver the recordings. 

Good luck!!!
