Her guidance, encouragement, love, and support are the unseen threads that hold this work together. In addition to Jamie, I would like to thank our two sons, Oliver and Peter. Their curiosity and joy are what have driven me throughout this long process. Many of the video games mentioned throughout this dissertation were played with them at my side, stomping Koopa Troopas or vanquishing evil from the land of Hyrule. I would also like to thank the members of my dissertation committee, Joshua Daniel- Wariya, Lynn Lewis, Anna Sicari, and Tutaleni Asino. Their knowledge, wisdom, mentorship, energy, and labor have made this all possible. As a long time English major, it is common to see acknowledgement sections with nods to the authors and writers who have blazed the trail before them and inspired them to take up the study of language and literature.

The PE Homework - Active Every Day activities are designed to complement the activities that your child is learning in school. Research shows that physical education, as an integral part of your child’s education, provides vital opportunities for physical, social, emotional and intellectual development. Children who experience joy and fun through the medium of movement at school are more likely to continue to be active later in life if they have the opportunity to practise what they have learned in a wide range of environments, such as the home and community. This enables them to develop Physical Literacy. Benefits of Physical Literacy Psychological wellbeing Physical fitness Happiness Physical health Confidence Physical skill development Resilience in a variety of ways Healthy lifestyle habits Cognitive skills Social Skills Educational success What does your child learn about in Physical Education? The PE Curriculum meets the needs of your child for movement experiences, challenges and play.
