iEngage Week 1 Report

Hi there from the iEngage team!
To keep you up to date with what is happening in the class during the iEngage program we will be sending Mr McCarron newsletters that he can pass on to you. Here is the first one.
Over the last 2 weeks the children have had several sessions of recordings:

• Physical activity trackers – The children wore the GeneActivs from Monday 23rd Oct to Friday 27th Oct to record their normal physical activity.
• Fitness Testing - On Tuesday 31st Oct and Thursday 2nd Nov the children went through quite a few measurements. We recorded their anthropometric values, flexibility, hand grip strength, their fitness level (how many 20m length they could run), how high they could jump, and their agility in running forward and sideways in a T-test.

 On Friday 3rd Nov the children were given a bracelet to track their activity and started the iEngage learning modules on the tablets. They were also given a booklet which has the lesson summary and a place for them to record their objective (number of steps they will do per day) and select a mission to complete before the next lesson.
