Throwing Skills and Fall Community Walks

This week in PE, we focused on developing our overhand throwing skills, with a special emphasis on stepping toward our target to generate more power and improve accuracy. Students put their skills into practice through a variety of fun games, including Leapfrog Touchdowns, Crazy Ball Pin Knockdown, and Trench Ball. These activities gave everyone plenty of opportunities to practise their throwing mechanics while staying active and having fun!

On Wednesday, we headed outside for our community walks and enjoyed some amazing fall colours. Walking is a great way to support our overall well-being. Physically, it helps build endurance and keeps our bodies active. Emotionally, spending time outdoors can help reduce stress and improve our mood. Socially, walking together gives us opportunities to connect with classmates, practise positive communication, and build a stronger sense of community.

It was a great week of learning, movement, and enjoying the beautiful fall weather!

The first two weeks of PE are already in the books!

  The first two weeks of PE are already in the books! During our first week, we focused on getting back into the swing of things by practicing our routines and expectations for PE. We worked on things like entering and leaving the gym, listening for instructions, using equipment safely, and making the gym a positive place for everyone to learn and have fun. This week, we turned our attention to Terry Fox. Students learned about Terry’s incredible story, his Marathon of Hope, and his goal of raising money for cancer research. We also began some running training to help get ready for our school Terry Fox Run on September 23. Students are encouraged to bring in toonies for Terry as we work together to support the Terry Fox Foundation. Every little bit helps, and it’s great to see our students learning about the importance of perseverance, kindness, and giving back to our community. We’re off to a great start and looking forward to a fun year in PE! Community Walks in PE Starting Wedne...
