Getting Outside
Now that the weather is slowly improving, we are heading outside more often now for PE classes. Please help your child to think about appropriate clothing choices. Running shoes are necessary for students to be able to fully participate in all learning activities.
PE Learning Highlights
Over the last month, students have been actively engaged in exploring and understanding body movement through gymnastics and fitness activities. As we move through May, we are returning to our learning of Indigenous cultures with the introduction of Lacrosse.
Stickball, as it was first referred to in historical text, and often called The Medicine Game, was and continues to be an integral part of Indigenous culture. The rules and play of game we know today is very different from its roots. Knowing and understanding the cultural and historical significance of Canada’s National Sport is central to our overall learning in our PE classes.
All students were shown the following link as a brief introduction to origins of Lacrosse and to recognize and celebrate the Thompson family’s contribution to the game as Indigenous Athletes.
