PWii

Posted on May 15, 2007
Filed under 07 AllStars, Games, Wii

We have finally started our “PWii” lessons. We call them PWii (rather than PE - physical education) because we are using the Wii to play tennis.

Each group of students has written up a lesson on a tennis skill, and they teach the rest of the class how to do the skill. We play outside using a wide range of bats and racquets to learn the skills we need to play inside on the Wii.

Each pair plays the Wii in the classroom, and we choose the “best of 3 games” option. When everyone has had a turn we will each play other students and have a “Round Robin” tournament.

We hope to put together either a wiki of our work or at least a page to show you what we’ve been up to

You are very lucky to be playing Wii. My friend has Wii and we play all sorts of games.

That’s great!
Some of our p7 pupils visited Ardeonaig for a long weekend. Some of us stayed behind. On Friday and Monday, the pupils who stayed behind played on Marc’s ‘wee’ …. but I now think that this was actually a ‘Wii’!

Can we join in with your wiki experiment?

Now the pressure is on us!!

Hi Carronshore!
Actually, the wii, isn’t actually “wii”. It’s a game, sporty games altogether. Well, cool guys,i never knew that you could play the wii in your country! Cool!!!
Did you have fun playing the wii?

LL, Yes the wii belongs to the school That’s pretty cool isn’t it? I have it at home at my house this weekend because we are going to use the “Boogie” program on it for some dance lessons. Stay tuned to see how we go!

How COOL?! What a good idea - we have a shortage of Wii’s in the UK - maybe we could “borrow” yours for PE! This is a great blog, I’ve really enjoyed seeing what you get up in Australia. Would you drop by to our blog, and tell us what you think?
