A wild few weeks in Phys. Ed. (May 15th – Jun 2nd)

Sorry for no blog posts over the past few weeks.  We’ve been flying over here.  It’s been a busy few weeks for us.  Some of the things that we have been doing over the past few weeks include:

Escape Boxes, Cricket, Baseball, Grade 4/5 Track and Field Day, and our Community High 5 Run.

We will be starting up June with some rollerblading and playing some of our favourite games.  We have one last big event for June, and that is our Tabloid Day.  This year Tabloid day will be held on June 22nd in the afternoon.

Last Week In Phys. Ed. (May 8th-12th)

A fun week in Phys. Ed. this past week.  We continued on with racquet sports, and also got a chance to try out the Escape Boxes from our divisional set.  M. Vermeylen created a pirates themed “active escape room” for the students to solve.  Some of the riddles had students using agility ladders, others had them using the play structure.  We also needed to do some counting and math and a little bit of colour mixing as well.  The boxes were such a hit that M. Koester has been working on another theme for them.  Once everyone has a chance with the first set of clues we will re organized the boxes and try out the second theme next week.

Firendly Reminder:  High 5 Run registration ends on May 23rd.  Don’t forget to sign up! highfiverun.wordpress.com

Last Week In Phys. Ed. (April 24th-28th)

Our second full week of gymnastics in PE classes.  Tons of fun had by everyone, even our non-gymnasts.  Students worked their way through ever-changing obstacle courses throughout the week.  They also spent some time working on some of their gymnastic skills in isolation.  We will make circus performers out of them yet!

Next week we will be starting up racquet sports.  Students will be working on badminton, tennis, racquetball and a few other racquet-themed activities.

Just a friendly reminder that registration for the High 5 Run closes on May 23rd!  Time to make the commitment!  Hope to see you out on May 29th!
