Fizzee Intro
Fizzees are a wearable technology that uses a dual sensor to track children's physical activity levels. This activity is then used to nurture and grow a virtual pet called a Fizzee. The health and maturation of the Fizzee depends on the child meeting the Chief Medical Officer's recommendations for exercise. A supporting website allows children to share tips, view their personal health data, and play games where their Fizzee's performance depends on its health. The goal is to motivate children to be more physically active through caring for their digital pet.

Natalie Lin Rationale for PDHPE in Primary Curriculum
PDHPE (Personal Development, Health and Physical Education) is an important part of the primary school curriculum for several reasons:
1) It promotes healthy lifestyles like physical activity and balanced diets, which is important because many Australian children are overweight or obese and unhealthy habits formed early can continue into adulthood.
2) It helps students develop self-confidence, resilience, and healthy relationships through exploring interpersonal skills and growth.
3) It provides knowledge on safe living and personal health choices so students can make informed decisions that result in responsible actions regarding their health. Developing these skills and habits early is critical for health now and in the future.
PDHPE Powerpoint
The PDHPE syllabus is one of six key learning areas in the NSW primary curriculum. It aims to develop knowledge, understanding, skills, values and attitudes to lead healthy, active and fulfilling lives and adopt a responsible role in society. PDHPE is an important subject that can prevent modern problems like obesity, illness, inactivity, and bullying by improving physical health, mental health, and social interactions. It is significant for children's development and learning, so schools should create a fun culture around PDHPE to encourage student engagement.

The Impact of Physical Activity on Socializing Mentally Handicapped Children
This research is conducted to determine socialization of individuals with moderate mental retardation by physical activity. In order to meet the needs of physical activity of individuals with mental retardation, programs including work and play are being prepared today. These games and practices are aimed on their abilities, limitations and interests. A well-planned program of physical activity can have a positive contribution to all areas of development on children with mental disabilities. In this study, which proceeds on the basis of The Focus Group Interview (FGI), a part of qualitative research strategy, 19 parents with disabled kids were interviewed. Children of parents who participated in the study have moderate mental retardation (MR) and they have been playing basketball for two days a week, swimming for one day a weekend short walking at least three times a week on a regular basis for the last two years. The study was made by Maximum Diversity Sampling as a sampling method and interview form was used as a data collection means. Verbal explanations given by parents to open-ended questions were analyzed through content analysis. Main themes of each research question were chosen by comparing a pre determined part of the creation of common themes. As a result, parents who are suffering from hyperactive or inactive children, tell that they observe a significant change in their children after doing sports. Parents who see this positive change become happy and therefore they have spare time for themselves while their kids are doing sports. Both parents and children defined the positive changes at home and social life along with sports as happiness and calmness. Parents state that they feel their kid’s sense of achievement, improved ability to make an action and communications kills. They also observe the fact that they gain acceptance in the community
