Written response: Community connections

Summary of task

As part of a unit of work on community connections, students learnt about how places in their local community were designed to promote physical activity. They visited a local playground near their school to conduct an audit of the types of resources available.

Students were asked to identify areas in their local community that they could use for physical activity and describe some areas they have already used and how they have used them. They were then asked to propose at least one new way of using one of these areas.

This assessment task relates to the focus areas: health benefits of physical activity, and lifelong physical activities.
