Hello!
A great big thank you to all the dancers at the assembly on Friday! They did a fantastic job showing off our dance unit. We have finished our badminton unit, now that testing has begun and we are on to more hand-eye coordination skills with the game of softball for years 4-6. K-3 will be working on hand-eye coordination skills using tennis as our guide. We are coming up on the athletics unit and more information about the sports day will be announced. Now that the weather has finally gotten a bit warmer, please remember to bring a water bottle and hat to PE class. Also, wearing or bring shorts and tee-shirt to stay a bit cooler. At the end of the week, years 3-6 will be running 1k for charity Terry Fox run. A great cause and some extra running for students!

Our dance unit has been a big success! I am so pleased with the students overall effort and participation. So far, they have learned 4 new dances and they even created their own circle dance. For the next couple of weeks, the students will be doing movement stations and action word dance. I will be away for a few days this week and next, but the dancing will continue along with a game of dodgeball! Make sure you get your kids to teach you their dances!

Hello!
Just a quick note about PE lessons....
Judo has been a big success for years 5 & 6. We are coming to the end of our unit Feb. 12, so they are starting to put together their Judo composition for final exam. In year 3, the students have enjoyed karate. For some, a basic introduction and for others who have been in karate class before, a good review. All other classes have been doing gymnastics. We have worked on such skills as: log rolls, forward and backward rolls, balance beam, cartwheels, balancing and tri-pods. The next two weeks we will finish the unit with gymnastic stations and adding a sequence of skills.
