Our main goals are:

• To improve your basic physical skills.

• To learn how to plan and adjust your effort during physical activities.

• To understand the value of teamwork and how it helps in sports and daily life.

Are you ready to take on this new adventure? Let’s do it! 💪

To start our new learning situation, we’ll focus on evaluating your physical fitness. You will complete several tests to measure key physical abilities, including speed, endurance, strength, and flexibility.

Here’s what we’ll do:

• Speed: Run 20m and 40m sprints and record your times.

• Endurance: Complete the Course Navette test to measure how long you can keep going.

• Strength: Perform a medicine ball throw and measure the distance.

• Flexibility: Do a flexibility test by pushing an object between your legs and record how far you can reach.

You’ve already prepared a table in Google Docs and added it to your digital portfolio. Make sure you write down your results after each test. We’ll repeat these tests in June to see how much you’ve improved!

Remember, the most important thing is to do your best and have fun while learning about your body’s abilities. Let’s get started! 🏃‍♂️💪✨
