This Week in PE

  Cycle 7 This cycle, students in P1st-2nd grade began working on their tossing and catching skills. They were given challenges to accomplish through the use of scarves. This is a great implement to use with catching especially, given that it takes much longer for the scarf to fall. 3rd-5th graders worked on their underhand throw skills through some different activities. One activity was called Move the Pin. Students needed to use an underhand throw to knock over a pin. If they were successful, they got to move the pin closer to themselves and tried to eventually knock it down when it was closest to their side. We also played the game the opposite way (moving the pin toward their opponent). This offered more of a challenge for teams that were successful the first time around.

  Cycle 6 Happy Halloween!! This cycle students participated in activities that were related to Halloween. Some activities included: Zombie Tag, Pumpkin Punch, Would You Rather (Candy Edition), and Ghostbusters. Cycle 5 All of the students worked on gymnastics skills during this cycle. They were given age appropriate skills that focussed on their balance and control. Through each class, each skill became more and more challenging. Cycle 4 Students in P1st-2nd had the opportunity to use their personal space and locomotor skills in a variety of activities. One such game was Building Bridges. 3rd-5th graders worked on their ball rolling skills. One of the games they played was fitness bowling. Students work in teams to try to knock down all 10 pins. However, they start with 1 pin, and only get to add a pin when they knock down all of their pins.
