Introduction: The teachers begin the class by giving a brief introduction the students stand to
welcome the teachers and I in the classroom. After which the teacher gave each students there
exam paper to go true to see if there was any errors when the papers where being marked. After
the students assessed their papers, they were confused at the section that required them to label
the skeleton system with the scientific name.
Student involvement / interaction: The teacher took the class to a science lab that had a replica of
the skeleton system and ask each student what each part represent Though the students may be
unsure, she was seeking to test their thinking skills in a way to effectively enhance the teaching-
learning process. In like manner, the students tried to answer the questions even when they were
doubtful about their answers eventually the teacher told them the answer to the parts, they were
unsure of and told them to study.
Classroom management: The class was managed fairly well by the teachers. Whenever students
did not comply. The teacher demonstrated professionalism in settling the class, however. This
third form class seemed to be a very cooperating group of students.
Setting – physical/ psychosocial: The class took place in the school’s Physics lab from 12:00
noon to 1:00 pm. The class was held in the laboratory since it is well equipped and contains the
apparatus needed to carry out the practical activity. The classroom was well arranged; the
students sat neatly around tables. The lab was also clean and tidy and well ventilated. There were
a few charts on the wall and also samples of the students work mounted on the counters to the
side. This lab was the same lab in which the fifth form students had class.
Assessment – Culminating activity/ extended practice:
The teacher told the students to write down the general name of each section of the skeleton
system and told them to writhe the scientific names beside each so they could have it to study
from whenever they were going to be tested on the skeleton system.
Use of Instructional Aids:
The teacher wanted all the students to have a thorough understanding of the concept of what was
done so the teacher brings the students to the science lab to display the diagram of the skeleton
system.

Introduction: This class was introduced in an extremely straightforward manner. The teacher launched right into the lesson. His assumption appears to be that the students are familiar with prior lessons. Student involvement / interaction: While the instructor was completing a 4th form physical education exam paper, there was good interaction between the teacher and the student. The teacher asked the class several questions in order to improve the teaching-learning process; also, the students attempted to answer the questions even when they were unsure. According to my observations, The 4th form students were interested in the topic fitness and performance. They were all actively participating in the conversation as the teacher sought dramatic and instructive methods to convey the principles to the students. As a result, they were intensely invested in the subject and quickly answered the teacher's questions when asked. Classroom management: The teacher effectively handled the class. In doing so, she displayed professionalism. This fifth-grade class appeared to be a cooperative bunch of youngsters. The kids were not disruptive; just a few in the rear appeared restless and chatty. They were generally aware of when it was their turn to talk and when it was necessary to remain silent so that the instructor may continue with the lesson. The teacher also commanded the students that they were to raise their hands if they wished to answer a question and to wait until they were acknowledged before they could speak. In addition, the teacher also requested for the students to stand while responding to a question. If the class got boisterous, she would stop speaking and would wait until the students are settled before she would continue the lesson. Setting – physical/ psychosocial: The class took place in a fourth form classroom from 1:00 pm to 3:00 pm. It took place in a suitable environment to accommodate 24 students the class took place after lunch so a few students were restless but cooperation continued between students and teacher so the lesson was carried out and the students understand the concept. Assessment – Culminating activity/ extended practice: The students were actively involved in a discussion with the teacher base on the topic Fitness several students did not understand clearly what is general fitness. The teacher explained that General fitness is part of overall health. It means having a healthy body weight as well an ability

Observation The Grade 10 Physical Education class observed today centered around developing football skills, with a particular focus on short passing and positional awareness. The session took place on the outdoor school field and included 30 students. The lesson began with a structured warm-up, lasting approximately 10 minutes. The teacher led the students through light jogging, dynamic stretches, and agility drills using cones to simulate in-game movement. This was effective in preparing students physically and mentally for the lesson, while also reinforcing movement patterns relevant to football. After the warm-up, the teacher introduced the learning objectives: improving short passing accuracy, receiving technique, and spatial awareness during play. Students appeared attentive and were able to articulate the objectives when asked. The teacher provided a brief demonstration of inside-foot passing and receiving, emphasizing body positioning, eye contact, and communication between players. Students then moved into partner-based passing drills, practicing both stationary and moving passes. Cones were set up to guide movement and improve control. The teacher circulated actively, offering personalized feedback and ensuring all students remained engaged. Clear praise and constructive corrections were consistently provided, helping students refine their technique. Next, students progressed to small sided games, designed to apply the practiced skills in a more realistic game setting. The teacher implemented a rule requiring at least three passes before a goal attempt to encourage teamwork and reduce individual play. This helped reinforce the lesson’s focus on passing and positioning. The students showed high levels of energy, communicated effectively, and demonstrated visible improvement in their ball control and decision-making. Throughout the lesson, the teacher maintained strong classroom management, using a whistle and verbal cues to organize transitions efficiently. Students followed instructions respectfully and displayed good sportsmanship during the games. The session concluded with a cool-down that included light jogging and static stretches. The teacher engaged students in a short reflection, asking them to discuss what they had learned, what challenges they faced, and how they might improve. This encouraged self-assessment and critical thinking about their performance.
