THIS WEEK IN PE


October 18th, 2024

This week in PE (Oct 1-18)  

Over the last few weeks, the grade 3/4’s have been refining their volleyball skills, learning the forearm pass (bump), overhead pass (set) and the serve.  Students had a chance to experience game play using these skills. Grade 3/4’s are now learning a new game using similar skills called Nitro ball. Nitro ball is also called ‘reverse volleyball’.  Kindergarten has been practicing some locomotor skills; skipping, hopping and galloping.  We are practicing moving safely in space avoiding others and walls. Grade 1 and 2 wrapped up their underhand tossing unit and began learning about striking skills used in volleyball.  Kindergarten and grade 1, 2 students had the opportunity to play some Thanksgiving games and all grades participated in the Turkey Trot prediction run.
