Answer 1

Sure do. It was the only class that I looked forward to.

Answer 2

With the rising obesity in children today I think it is very beneficial. The parents are obviously not taking the health of their children seriously so someone has to step in and help. It also gives the child a little time away from the vigorous classroom studies.

Answer 3

I used to like P.E. till class 5 my House always won in the relay races .I also won first prize in a Mummy Race in class 5.
After that P.E . became optional and the burden of studies was too much so I did not participate much in School sports Except for Compulsory Drills.

Answer 4

I hated gym as much as anyone you ever met. But I think it's a good idea.

Physical fitness is important. I wish I had tried harder at it. I still need to!
