PE Work for the year - please read - u know what is expected from you - thanks

PE Work for Christmas and Summer

 

One page at least typed (full page of typing) on computer on your experiences in PE in TY to date. List the activities, describe the activities and give some reasons on what you liked and what you disliked (if any). Give some information on what you did and where you went. Give as much information as possible. Name your favourite activity and put in photographs (see important point below). Anything different will get you more marks. Include something that stands out. Make it interesting to read. Make it a personal account (include any funny stories) – what did you get out of it? Did you like it? Include Bundoran/Gartan and Celtic trips. The more you include the better. It is important to note that participation will play an important part in your grade in PE. Please put your name on your work and staple or put in a plastic envelope. Read over your work and remember to do a spell check.

Grading system in TY is as follows:

1 = Excellent               2 = Very Good            3 = Good                     4 = Fair                        5 = Poor                     

Points:

• Work not typed = down a grade
• Poor participation in PE = down a grade (miss 4 classes = down one grade, miss 5 classes = down two grades, miss 6 classes down 3 grades and miss more than 6 classes = Poor (Being excused counts as missing PE). If you miss any of the main activities you may be marked down. This will be marked on your report.
• Short = down a grade (one page typed – We will make a decision on this!)
• Effort not good enough in PE = down a grade (not good enough just to have your gear – you must put in the effort as well)
• Behaviour not good in PE – down a grade
• No Photographs – down a grade – photos must include yourself taking part in one of the activities

If you forget your gear (I’m sure there will be no-one!) then this counts as a missed class . . . even though you will be taking part in your uniform!

1^st Piece of work is from Summer to Christmas and 2^nd piece is from Christmas to Summer

The following dates may change – we will let you know if they do.

Date that it has to be handed in at Christmas - Tuesday PE class = Tuesday 18^th November and Thursday PE class = Thursday 20^th November 2012

Date that it has to be handed in at Summer - Tuesday PE class = Tuesday 28^th April and Thursday PE class = Thursday 30^th April

 

Late work will be marked down – no excuses – you have plenty of notice!

If you do not happen to be in for some reason please email to me mrdohertyloretoschool@yahoo.ie making sure that it arrives on time (by 3.45pm on the day it is due) Please note YOU CAN ONLY EMAIL IT IF YOU ARE NOT AT SCHOOL ON THAT DAY. Please make sure that you have the work saved using the correct format (Microsoft Word 2003) if you intend to print it at school. There is a way of doing this using emails – please just ask!

 

1 day late = Down 1 grade  2 days late = down 2 grades  3 days late = down 3 grades.  After 3 days it will not be marked Note – Weekend counts as 1 day and long weekend counts as 2 days – If the school is open that counts as a day. Only a doctor’s note will excuse you. This must be handed in on the first day back at school. We will then work out a suitable schedule for the work to be handed in.

 

It is easy to get a good mark in PE. Have your gear, try your best, enjoy the experiences and have a go at everything – no excuses!!! And produce your work when it is due in. We will try to make PE as interesting as possible and we will try to include as many different activities as possible but it is important that we work together on it.

Enjoy the year and best of luck
