Speech Day

Good Afternoon

We only had phys ed in the afternoon due to the excellent speech presentations this morning. I would like to congratulate every student who went up on stage and presented.

JK/Sk's today had a great couple of soccer games and believe or not I actually witnessed some passing!!

Grade 2's continued with floor hockey today, I am impressed with the play development I am seeing from some of the students.

Have a great night!

Floor hockey!

Good afternoon

We've started our floor hockey unit, students are really getting into it!

In jk and sk today we played soccer, I thought this would be a good way to work on their cooperative skills and striking.

Reminder to tomorrow during second recess we will have basketball tryouts/ practice.

Aerobics, Zumba and dancing......o my

Good evening

With preparations going on for the gala in the big gym we had phys Ed in A2 today. With limited space I figured it would be a great day to utilize the projection screen to show some videos the class can follow along on. Each class did a couple aerobics tracks, Zumba tracks and Just Dance songs.

Just dance!

Today I experimented with playing videos from the popular video game franchise, Just Dance and Just Dance for Kids. I was amazed how both male and female students had few reservations dancing along with the videos. I was also impressed with the workout you can get, I will be sure to do it again in the future.

Grade 5-8's are skiing tomorrow. Bus leaves at 7:15 and returns at 5:00.

Electric Slide

I hope everyone had a great family day long weekend!

We had a lot of fun today line dancing with the grade 1 to 8's. I kept it simple teaching the electric slide, I was very impressed with the effort that most students gave attempting the dance.

Jk/sk's played cooperative games and had a strong fitness component to their classes.

There is no skiing tomorrow for the grade 5-8's, the next time we go is Mach 6th!

Grade 3-8 had a crossfit workout today! We had a lot of sweaty bodies at the end of the classes.

Grade 2's worked on their passing in floor hockey.

Jk/Sk/grade 1's had a freeze dance day and dodgeball, I usually have these activities on Fridays but due to the snow day I moved it.

Reminder, grade 5-8's are going skiing again to Mansfield on Wednesday.

Mansfield ski club

We had a great day at Mansfield Ski Club yesterday. Conditions were great and the sun was shinning all day!
I will post pictures from our day.

Grade 5-8's took it pretty easy today since most of us were pretty stiff from skiing. We talked about the importance of stretching and the proper techniques

Jk-grade 2's took part in house games today.

Tomorrow is freeze dance Friday for the young ones!

Happy Monday

Good afternoon everyone

In jk/sk we advanced our skills today by kicking a moving ball. 

grade 1/2's played the basketball game bump. This was a great way to see if students are able to play with each other.

Grade 3/4 worked on their jump shot in basketball.

Grade 5-8 worked on basketball plays so hopefully when we play against other schools we can represent St. Jude's well.
