For the activity we will be learning and practicing jumping rope. Jumping rope is a great way to improve balance, coordination and reflexes as well as the students cardio endurance.
This week we focused on the basics: How to hold a skipping rope and turn it. Every students is at a different level so it never hurts to start from scratch.
Rope cues:
"Hands down low, and turn the rope slow." (PE Specialist)
Below is a set of tricks the students will attempt to practice through out this unit.
Way to go Kenneth Taylor School!!
With the generous help of our families and our community, we have raised a record amount of $1735.00 for the Terry Fox Foundation!
We finished our unit on Frisbees- throwing and catching. Four stations were set up for them to practice their skills:
Assessment- Holding frisbee properly, throwing cues, accuracy, effort
Hula Hut Challenge
Building hula huts is a great team-building activity to help your kids work on cooperation and communication at the beginning of the year.
This week we have been focusing on building our physical stamina. Students have been training for the Terry Fox Run and doing a fantastic job! We introduced a few cooperative games such as Captain's Coming and Cat and Mouse.
After each class students are being asked to do a quick self-assessment on how they thought they did in class that day.
Awesome!!
Congratulations on the Terry Fox Run today! Everyone should be so proud of themselves.
