I sat down thinking of how my primary school days went and i began to laugh,laugh,laugh. Although,schools nowadays dont do much of those things,physcial and health eaducation we did back in the days. If i do tell lies, please point out them for me. Its a free world,also joint discussion.
I. When i was in primary school, we did physcial and health education. How?
During our own time,our teachers would classify we students according to our names,age,sex,helght,strenght.
After this classification,we are going to line up and collect our plot of land (in this case,you will be give a portion of land with some seeds to plant ) usually maize.2-3 months. This will expand your scope at very tender age how to farm and cultivate land on your own. After the end of the term,you will all harvest your produce in a basket. Your teachers will come and score you marks base on what you are able to produce and harvest. In which this is not so nowadays.
II. Handwork. During my own time in primary school. We will all be given a particular handwork to do. Take for example.
Claywork.
Drawings.
Art and craft ( basket,broom,masks)
After which you will spend some weeks moulding and drawing with smile,joy,happiness. Then you bring them back to school. Fetching you many good scores according to the quality of your work. I guess it not so nowadays. Teachers dont even have time for physcial and health education.
III. Interhouse sport. During the end of SEcond term,we do this great and joyful joint meeting of schools. We invite both far and near schools to join ours in participating for running,re lay race, high jump,shortput, football ,sack race,handball,tabletennis,etc. But nowadays . it not so again.
IV. Also,most of our primary school days poems are done, no where to be found.
Please, i hope to see your active participation and comments. Thanks for reading.
