"Students are more aware of what they are capable of doing. They are showing more confidence and willing to have a go as well as more patience towards one another." "Many children who previously did not participate are now making a greater effort to be involved." "Students have learned about teamwork and carried the positive approach to Bluearth into the classroom; Do the best you can. Students have felt confident in new learning experiences and have become fitter." "I believe that the children achieved/ felt more successful because there is no elimination in the activities, no really winners/ losers and 100% participation." "The children have transferred their awareness to the benefit of persisting in a physical endeavour/ challenge to persisting in activities that are academically challenging as well." "Speaking and listening skills are encouraged and have improved. The use of numbers in our games and mathematical 'location' language and the notion that 'you can do it' helps the students." "The program has enabled all students to participate for the whole lesson. Less active students have seen themselves as active participants." "Children have been socialising with others they don't normally socialise with. They have an increased awareness of personal actions and their effects on others." "Students have stated that their understanding of the need to stay healthy/ be active has become obvious." |

"A class of students with extremely strong peer connections have made an effort to include others and recognised their strengths and talents, even when they are not 'mainstream' (part of the cool group)." "I'm sure the program has helped children who have had difficulty finding friends. They've shared fun experiences with various children, which filter back into their own play times." "The program has enabled a student who has not been accepted socially by the others to participate fully in team activities." |
