Part 2: Bringing your body to HPE
(Image retrieved from http://learningfundamentals.com.au/resources/)
I see this image as representing what HPE means to me in a holistic way. Being healthy is more than an absence of illness and the ability to perform tasks without fatigue or just eating the foods that we are told are right for us. It is holistic and incorporates the physical, mental, spiritual, cultural and social dimensions of the person. Or as the AESBP say "another perspective is that the health of an individual cannot be thought of in isolation from the world around the person. And equally so, the world is influenced by the health of the individual." (asebp, N.D). It is encompassing of all the things that we see as necessary and evil in health and exercise. This works on health in both the physical and emotional. It see diet and exercise sitting alongside the medical ailments that may come into our lives and the things that can push us over the emotional edge or comfort us emotionally. this shows that with the good there is temptation or bad and that there is always help on hand if we really need it and feel that we should ask. Family and friends are crucial elements in our own personal health and wellbeing and play a great role in centering us.
Age and family are another factor I see as important to HPE. We do not stop being active important people when we get older, leave school or move on to higher education and these needs to be acknowledged. People outside the school system are important in the physical, mental, spiritual, cultural and social dimensions of the person. These are the people that the children see as often in health and physical environments, with the family and friends and sporting role models. These are important people in the life of a child and ones that the children emulate and also people that should be encouraged to be good role models for the children or all of us. We need to be good role models to other people as others have been role models to us, I am grateful to say noneof my parents smoked and I was shown that this was normal and these role models influenced me in this decision and many others.

The first activity asked you to select 3 images to‘bring your body’ into learning in, through and about
HPE. For this section of the task you are required to select no more than 6 images (either the first images or others) to illuminate your biography and values about HPE – consider your socialisation into/about physical activities/health/relationships, values you might have about learners/health/physical activity/ personal development, your biography/values beyond HPE that may influence your teaching.
Writea150-200 word exposition to explain the collection of images and elucidate your biographies and values. Use your reading s to justify learner/HPE values and beliefs. Further
to the analysis and justification, consider how your body biography/values influence your (currentandfuture personal pedagogies in HPE.
Write a 150-‐200 word exposition that describes yourself as a teacher of HPE in light of taking a critical lens to your biography, values, belief and incident interpretations.
Consider new actions to undertake so as to create new understandings of action situations, new understandings of self as a teacher in terms of cultura land political setting of teaching,and new understandings of taken-‐for-‐granted assumptionsabout HPE (and general) teaching.

Part of my physical biography
is the activities I am and have been involved in, this is a view of the reservoir
in Jincheon, Chungbuk, Korea. Individual sports like cycling have been a part
of my life for about 35 years and still are, but to a lesser degree over this
past year. Activities one can do alone or together but not as a part of a team,
are ways we learn to depend on ourselves and find parts of the world and our
environment that are special, this is not just a physical endeavour but one
that works in our mental, spiritual and social aspects by combining them and
making returns to us with feelings of well being that encompass all these
aspects of our lives.

That first image is a fantastic way to capture the essence of holistic health & wellness. I have swayed more towards the holistic style of teaching myself. You might be interested in the article on my website that talks about what research has uncovered; that exposure to nature especially within a natural environment has many positive repercussion on an individual's physiological, emotional, psychological and spiritual health. I'm looking to incorporate nature-based experiences into my teaching...at least these are my intentions. Love the in action photos Fisher - good stuff!
