Striking and Fielding Games

One team hits, the other team chases. Then they swap. What is each team actually trying to do?

Striking and fielding games are games where opposing teams take turns playing offense and defense on a playing field.

Examples: baseball, softball, kickball and soccer. The traditional Filipino games syato and bati-cobra are also striking and fielding games.

SideWhat they doGoal
OffenseStrikes an object, like batting in baseball or kicking a ball in kickballGet a score
DefenseFields an object, like throwing the ball in baseball or kickballAvoid the opponent’s score

Basic strategies

  1. Sending objects into open spaces.
  2. Positioning to cover the playing area most effectively.
  3. Repositioning to back up teammates.

Skills involved

SkillExamples from the hand-out
Locomotorrunning, jumping, leaping, sliding
Non-locomotorbending, stretching, reaching an object
Manipulativethrowing, striking, catching, receiving, retaining
Missed on Quiz 1, No. 6

“Which of the following is a non-locomotor skill?” The answer given was B, Jumping. The right answer is C, Bending.

Jumping takes you off the spot, so it goes: locomotor. Bending, stretching and reaching happen without leaving your place: non-locomotor.

Net/Wall Games

There is a net between you and the other team, and nobody crosses it. So how does anybody score?

Net/wall games are played using skills such as throwing, catching, and covering a court. They involve tactics or strategies to make a score or goal. Accuracy and power are some of the skills needed. Examples: volleyball and badminton.

Volleyball · basic skills

“Pass, set, hit, and block” are the words most coaches say whenever they coach a volleyball game.

SkillWhat it is
ServeStarts the rally by hitting the ball over the net into the opponent’s court from behind the end line
SpikeAttacking skill: forcefully hits the ball downward and over the net
PassReceives or controls the ball and directs it to a teammate, commonly using the forearms
BlockDefensive skill near the net: jump and extend hands and arms upward to stop or deflect an attack
SetPlaces the ball accurately for a teammate (usually an attacker) to hit, using the fingertips
DigDefensive skill that keeps an attack, especially a spike, from hitting the floor, using the forearms

Volleyball · player roles

Badminton

A racket sport played in singles (two players) or doubles (four players). All you need is a racket, a bird (shuttle), and a net, which is optional. It is played on a badminton court. Skills needed: power, reflexes, agility, and smart thinking. It increases cardiovascular fitness because you keep running, smashing the bird, and running where it comes down.

Equipment and Roles of Players

Two of the three misses on Quiz 2 happened right here. Learn the field like a map and the names stop swapping places.

Baseball: a team sport of nine players. Pitchers use the overhand throw. The ball measures 9–9.25 inches in circumference.

Softball: a team game with seven players, called the baby brother of baseball. It can be played by boys, girls, men and women, or mixed.

P C B IF IF LF CF RF 1st2nd3rd
P pitcher on the mound in the middle of the bases. C catcher behind home plate. B batter beside home plate. IF infielders between first and third base. LF, CF, RF the three outfielders.
PlayerJob
Hitter / BatterHits a pitched ball by stepping forward with the front foot while swinging the bat
PitcherStands on the pitcher’s mound, in the middle of all the bases, and throws or pitches the ball toward the hitter
CatcherCrouches behind home plate and catches the pitches that are not hit
InfielderDefensive player stationed at one of four “infield” positions, between first base and third base
OutfielderOne of the three: right fielder, center fielder, left fielder
RunnerThe batter becomes the runner after hitting the ball in “fair territory”
Missed on Quiz 2, Matching 3 and 4

Hitter/Batter was matched to “throws or pitches the ball toward the hitter,” and Pitcher to “hits the pitched ball using a bat.” They were swapped.

Read the name: the PITCHer PITCHes. The HITter HITs. The clue that says “toward the hitter” cannot be the hitter.

Missed on Quiz 2, No. 7

“What happens to the batter after hitting the ball into fair territory?” The answer given was D, Infielder. The right answer is B, Runner. An infielder is on the defense; the batter is still on offense, now running the bases.

Prevention of Early Pregnancy

At your age, the hand-out says, learning about sexuality helps you “strengthen your resolve.” Resolve to do what, and why now?

Early pregnancy prevention — learning the concepts of sexuality and early pregnancy now helps you strengthen your resolve to avoid pregnancy during the teenage years.

Healthy and positive sexuality

Sexuality is your understanding of your body and its role in relating to people, especially the opposite sex. It also includes how you feel about your body and how it expresses your feelings, desires, and thoughts toward other people.

Sexuality also includes how you protect yourself from being forced, threatened, tricked, or pressured into unwanted sexual activity, and avoiding early pregnancy.

Parents are the first to teach you about sexuality. They nurture you through their touch, taught you to use the bathroom meant for your sex, and told you to avoid getting too physically close or intimate with other boys and girls at this young stage. A better understanding of healthy and positive sexuality helps prevent early pregnancy.

Human sexuality · from Quiz 1

Human sexuality is the total self, including physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects.

Changes in adolescence · p. 5 Activity 2

Adolescence is the stage when young people experience physical and emotional changes. Menarche is a girl’s first monthly menstrual period. Understanding these changes helps young people make wise decisions.

ChangeExamples from the activity
Physicalgrowing taller and gaining weight; body hair; acne or pimples; pubic hair; changes in voice
Emotionalchanges in mood; learning to manage feelings and emotions
Sociala deeper interest in friendships

Benefits of Preventing Early Pregnancy

The benefit of preventing early pregnancy is everything on this page that does not happen to you.

Young people who know the negative consequences of teenage pregnancy understand why they should avoid situations that can cause it.

Being a teenage parent

It is a huge responsibility that affects your physical, social, emotional, mental, and even financial life.

AreaWhat it looks like
Personal & Social ImpactSocial isolation (embarrassment, pulling away from friends); physical strain (pain and complications from childbirth)
Daily Care & HealthMedical care (nursing a sick infant); hygiene (diapers, daily baths); more household chores; being kept awake at night
Financial ObligationsNutritional care (feeding the baby); grocery expenses (food and daily supplies)

Responsible Decision-Making and Reproductive Health Education

A responsible decision starts with knowing which choices are risky. Activity 1 on p. 5 asked exactly that.

Sexual risk behavior — any sexual behavior that may be dangerous to your health and well-being.
Activity 1Risk?
Unprotected sexual activity✓ risk
Having multiple sexual partners✓ risk
Starting sexual activity at a young age✓ risk
Choosing to delay sexual activity✗ not a risk
Sexual activity while on drugs or under the influence of alcohol✓ risk

These behaviors may result in: a higher risk of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV/AIDS; a higher risk of genital herpes; and an early and unwanted pregnancy.

Teenage pregnancy facts

  • Teenage pregnancy is a pregnancy in a woman under 20 years old.
  • In the Philippines, the age range is 15 to 19, but girls as young as 10 have become pregnant.
  • 2020: 56,428 live births among girls aged 10 to 17, and 51 among girls aged 10 to 12.
  • Early 2023: the country declared adolescent pregnancy a national emergency (Philippine Information Agency).

Young people should learn not only how to prevent early pregnancy but also how to tell friends and classmates why understanding positive sexuality matters.

No page on “responsible decision-making” by itself was in the folder. The two items on this inning are what the hand-out and quizzes give: knowing risk behaviors, and Quiz 2 No. 19, “Asking a trusted adult for help when you feel pressured is a responsible choice” (True).

Family, Communication and Trusted Adults

Home plate is where you score. In this game, home is also where you get help.

This inning covers three pointers: Role of the Family in Adolescent Health, Importance of Family Communication and Support, and Seeking Guidance from Trusted Adults.

The role of family in teenage pregnancy prevention · p. 4

Parents should:

  1. Establish rules such as curfews, dating rules, and others.
  2. Explain the values that they have toward teenage pregnancy.
  3. Be firm in discipline but rich in communication.
  4. Help their children plan for their future.

Remember from Inning 5: parents are the first to teach you about sexuality.

The hand-out pages for “family communication and support” and “trusted adults” were not in the folder. What is here comes from p. 4 (“rich in communication”) and Quiz 2 No. 19. A trusted adult is someone you can safely talk to, such as a parent, guardian, teacher, guidance counselor, or school nurse. If Cara’s notebook has more on these, send a photo and it can be added.

Causes and Ways to Prevent Teenage Pregnancy

Bottom of the ninth. If you know what pushes teens into risk, you know what to push back with.

These two pointers had no page in the folder. The lists below are the usual Grade 6 Health content, built from what the hand-out already says about risk behaviors and the family. Check them against Cara’s notes. Only two exam items lean on this inning.
Common causesWays to prevent
Peer pressure: friends pushing you to do things you are not ready forChoose to delay sexual activity (the one “not a risk” in Activity 1)
Lack of correct information about the body and sexualityLearn about healthy and positive sexuality
Lack of parental guidance and poor family communicationTalk to parents and trusted adults; follow family rules
Curiosity and influence of mediaAvoid risk behaviors, including alcohol and drugs
No clear plans for the futureSet goals and plan your future (parents help with this)
