Evaluation

​​ **Evaluation**

To evaluate our Happy Healthy Humans Hooray day the following procedures were followed:
 * Asking the students, informally, their current status on health and exercise. For example: Anna, who was stationed at the Boxing activity, asked the students before the day had begun "Who plays some sort of sport or does exercise outside of school?" At the end of the day, Anna asked the students "Who thinks that they would like to participate in boxing after today?"
 * A teacher evaluation sheet was handed to the teachers before the beginning of the day. This sheet included questions such as "Were you given enough information prior to the Happy Healthy Humans Hooray day commenced?", "Did the Happy Healthy Humans Hooray group members worked well together?" and "Is the Happy Healthy Humans Hooray day is sustainable for our school?"
 * Each group member was given a self-evaluation sheet that they were required to finish at the completion of the day. This sheet included questions such as "Our aims and objectives for the Happy Healthy Humans Hooray day were met", "You enjoyed the Happy Healthy Humans Hooray day" and "You believe the students enjoyed the Happy Healthy Humans Hooray day".

In terms of how our activity day went, we received wonderful feedback from teachers, students and also from ourselves.


 * Students** -
 * Gynmastics - When asked if students had participated in Gymnastics prior to the day, only 1/3 said that they had. When asked if they would participate in Gymnastics after the Happy Healthy Humans Hooray day, about 1/2 said that they would.
 * Cooking - Only 1/4 of students had eaten a mango prior to the Happy Healthy Humans Hooray Day. When asked after the day if they now liked mango after trying the mango smoothies, 1/2 said that they would. After the day we also asked students if they would go home and make some of the healthy recipes that they had cooked during the Happy Healthy Humans Hooray day, with 3/4 of students saying they would.
 * Gardening - 41 of the students were asked if they had worked in their garden at home. Of the 41, all but 17 had said that they had. At the completion of the day, 12 of the initial 17 that said that they hadn't worked in the garden, said that they now would.
 * Boxing - Only about 2 or 3 students per group had said that they had participated in boxing prior to the Happy Healthy Humans Hooray day but after completing the day, up to 8 per group said that they were interested in taking up boxing as a form of exercise.
 * Juggling and Games - Before the juggling lessons started, 45 students did not know how to juggle 3 balls and 25 did not know how to juggle 2. 3 of the intial 45 that did not know how to juggle 3 balls, knew how to by the completion of the lesson and 15 of the initial 25 who did not know how to juggle 2 balls knew how to by the completion of the lesson.
