Spies, spies, and more spies were rampant throughout the Edgemont gym last week – each one on a mission – a Mission Impossible. Their assignment, if they chose to accept it, was to complete the obstacle course without blowing up the landmines or falling into the deep dark pit!
Imagination was not lacking this week as students avoided obstacles, and climbed and balanced on various apparatus under the guise of being spies. A group of grade six students built Mission Impossible, our obstacle course. They worked hard on the design and implementation of the course and it was received with great enthusiasm.
Throughout our course, students unwittingly worked on all aspects of their gross motor skills. Their balance and overall coordination were challenged; and with each centre, students were required to think about the way they needed to move their bodies in order to get through the obstacle. Introducing the element of semi-darkness later in the week added in yet another element that tested students' abilities and changed their perspective of the course.
All in all, great fun was had by all!
