The children’s concept of enjoyment and fun
being inherent in physical
education was evident from the beginning of this study. Throughout the study, fun and
enjoyment remained important to the children and the teachers. These features were
evident in the lessons according to the children;
‘And it’s usually pretty fun.’
(1 FGC
Boy 5).
‘… and it’s very fun, because I think it’s good…’
(1 FGC Boy 2).
‘Um I think
it’s about um, like having fun, being active and um, getting really healthy doing it’
(1
FGC Boy 2). Other teachers at second class level and younger
felt their classes loved
O&AA and that the content was suitable;
‘I had one little one say the other day when
she was coming in through the hall with her Mum, to the Mum said, this is where we
have fun , Mum’
(1 FGT Kate JI).
‘They loved it…yeah they were delighted, yeah. They
were very enthusiastic. You cans see it from-they all wanted to do it’
(1 FGT Amanda
1). The teachers recognised that the children enjoyed working in
teams and being
challenged in the activities;
‘I think challenges they enjoyed when they worked in teams
and they had to figure it out for themselves like’
(2 FGT Miriam 5).
‘Pupil motivation
and interest very high’
(LE Cathal 4).
