Tennis Unit

Starting this Monday the 14th the grade 4-8s will be going to Club Meadowvale http://clubmeadowvale.com/ three times a week to play tennis! The head pro will be giving lessons to the students too.  If any students have their own racquet they are encouraged to bring it other wise they can use one of the schools.

U-10 Co-ed Soccer Results

Last week St. Jude's traveled to Bronte College in Mississauga to participate in a tournament hosted by Springfield Prep.  St. Jude's was the runner up with a 2 and 2 record.  After scoring St. Jude's first goal in tournament competition ever there was no looking back! I am proud the way the team conducted themselves off and on the field and even though we came up a little short in the finals everyone had fun. 

Dance Class

Hello all students and parents

I was wondering if anyone would be interesting in participating in an after school dance program? It would be run similar to karate with the instructor coming to the school. I need to know what kind of commitment we would have before I can finalize prices but like karate it would be very competitive. Please email me at rbrowning@stjudesacademy.com if your child would be interested.

Thanks!

Soccer Game

Today I took the grade 6-8's to Sherwood Heights Academy for an exhibition soccer game, although we had to play in the gym due to the rainy weather we still had a blast! Despite playing against a team with a couple more grade 8s on their roster we managed to score three goals and kept the game close. Thanks to Sherwood Heights for hosting us.

Karate part II

Students warming up!

Working on their moves 

Karate!!

Karate kicked off this week to great start, Sensei Grabb has his students excited about earning their belts. It is not too late to sign up, sessions are Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:45 to 4:45. I will post pictures of the students in action next week!

Soccer Unit

Since we will be playing exhibition soccer games against other private schools in the area there is no better time to start the soccer unit for grades 1-8. If students want to bring their soccer cleats monday and wedesday, weather permitting we might go to the local park for a little more space. Here is a link to all the rules and scenarios of soccer http://www.soccer-training-guide.com/soccer-rules.html if you want to read it over it to familiarize yourself with "the beautiful game". I will be explaining the rules in class as well.

First Gym Class of the Year

The first day of phys ed at St. Jude's was a lot of fun. All the students seemed to enjoy themselves and you could  tell they are excited for the upcoming year. For the younger students we will continue to work on coordination and locomotor skills, we will start the soccer unit for the older students. I have been talking to other schools about playing a couple exhibition soccer games so the class time will be a great opportunity to develop their skills.
