Due to the Covid-19 precautions schools are closed from the date 16th November 2020 same as all around the World. At the beginning of the Academic year 2020-2021 students of Final Schools have the chance to meet their friends and teachers face to face. After the first wave of Covid-19 disease children under 18 have a big need for doing sports and exercise so our P.E. teacher Basak Yeniceri organized an exercise early in the morning at our school garden ‘’Morning Sport”. She continues her exercises during online lessons. She also explains the benefits of sport on children’s physical and mental development. During her online lessons some of the parents also participated her fun and energetic lessons . Here are some photos and videos of these exercises and notes from her lessons.
Some of the many benefits of sport participation for children include:
-
reduced risk of obesity

increased cardiovascular fitness
-
healthy growth of bones, muscles, ligaments and tendons

In December all activities were implemented in the contex of distance education due to CoViD-19 pandemic. We colaborated with the organization "The Tipping Point",which runs the web platform "100mentors" and provides schoolchildren with teleconferences with scientists on topics of their choice.
Our choice was Mrs Natassa Messini, an experienced dietician & physical education teacher with a demonstrated history of working in the hospital & health care industry. She is specialized in eating disorders, wellness coaching, curriculum development, traning and sports.
We discussed about the huge importance of proper nutrition and exercise in our lives. A very interesting discussion took place between Mrs Messini and our team and we all came to the conclusion that what we eat, how much we exercise is reflected in our body,in our health and this should be our priority, while we should not forget that our body is unique, we are unique and we must respect and love ourselves.
