Learning to Ride a Bicycle
Everyone in the ASD Class is super proud of Siluan who is learning to ride a bicycle. At yesterday’s lesson he found his balance and pedalled without any help. Well done Siluan!
10@10 in 2nd class
2nd class are getting active every morning by taking part in the 10@ 10. This morning we were stretching up to the ceiling, pretending we were jumping beans and trying to be runner beans!! We love it.

Exercise can be so much fun!
Exercise and your Heart
In fourth class we have been busy testing our heart rates. Before exercise we tested children’s heart rates using the heart rate monitor. After the exercise we tested them again to see if there was any change in their heart rates. The heart rate monitor told us how many times their heart beat per minute (bpm). Here are some of the results we collected.
Results
Kalya Before exercise 96bpm
After exercise 120bpm
Oliver Before exercise 90bpm
After exercise 130bpm
Declan Before exercise 78bpm
After exercise 135bpm
Oscar Before exercise 150bpm
After exercise 200bpm
Conclusion
We found out that your heart rate changes after exercise. It beats faster. Oscar had a high heart rate before exercise and we know this was because he was nervous and excited about using the heart rate monitor. He was also doing a lot of talking at the beginning!!
For the next few weeks we are hoping to use the heart rate monitor before and after P.E every week.
