This week in PE.......

This week in PE / Health / Wellness

The past 2 weeks have been moving fast as Lower School Physical Education has moved through many topics.  We have worked on everything from jump rope all the way up to working on our basketball skills.  In health we have gone over the what makes individuals unique in a positive way talking about different things that we may do that others may not.

In physical education in grades 1 and 2 we put a focus on our cardiovascular systems and worked on our jump roping skills.  We worked on a build up of different skills that brought us to the point of jumping rope individually and as a group.  In grades 3 and 4 we had been working on our football skills which culminated in small sided flag football games.  We then moved forward into basketball this past week and have started working on skills such as dribbling, passing, layups, and shooting the basketball.

As it pertained to health we set a focus in sportsmanship as well as uniqueness this past week.  In kindergarten we have been putting a focus on what respect means and how to know we are showing respect towards ourself and others.  In grades 1 and 2 we continue to focus in on how to interact with each other in positive ways.  In grades 3 and 4 we jumped into what makes us special and unique, focusing in on the positives.

It has been an exciting couple of weeks.  We look forward to a exciting last week before break and wish everyone a happy new year.
