 * Introduction: ** This task will help prepare students for an up coming sports carnival. It will give children the chance and flexibility to really focus on a sport that they want to excel in, (in the sports carnival). The students will (in groups) be responsible for their own research in a specific sport. With this information the students will present in their groups, what they have learnt about that sport. They will then have some time to take the class outside to show everyone how to participate in this sport, by having demonstrations. In the demonstrations the students can record best times, longest jumps etc. At the end of this task, students will have the opportunity to present the winners of their sport to the class.

**Task overview:** Students will get in groups and are given a list of different sports by teachers, these sports will be: hurdles, long jump, discus and high jump. The students will have to research their chosen sport and present the information they find to the class. Students are also required to take the the class outside and demonstrate the sport they have researched. The students will record their results for each student in each sport category (e.g. longest jump, highest jump, best time). This will run for two weeks in total. On Friday of week two (the last day) the students will collect all of the data that they recorded from their results and present the winners to the class.


 * Task goal: ** The goal of this task is that all the students in the class will have learnt about 4 different sports, that they may have never got a chance to learn. The sports chosen will all be in the up coming sports carnival. This task is to try and get the students excited and willing to participate in the school carnival. This task will also improve the students team working abilities and time management skills.
