A Mixed Bag of PE Info...

So another week of skating has wrapped up - and big thank you goes out to the adventurous Merriott Youth Athletic Foundation coaches for all their assistance in bringing out the hidden ringette player in all of us!  It was great fun and we look forward to our next round with the rings.  A second thank you goes out to Kirk Wagner for sharing his very cool skating videos, definitely captured some of the fun the kids had throughout the week!

In the next couple weeks the world of phys.ed gets busy once again with classes going downhill skiing, performing yoga, taking part in the intramural program, starting practices in floor hockey and then taking the ice once more for our final round of skating.

1. Grade Four Rabbit Hill Ski trip - students are asked to be at the school by 8:20 ready to head out to the hill.  Those students bringing their own equipment are asked to set it at the front of the school where Mr. Henderson will load it up for them.  Students are reminded to bring their own lunches and to of course dress appropriately for the activity, ie. gloves, ski pants, winter jacket

2. Yoga - teacher Dawn will be back at the school on Wednesday, February 4th working with the students on their mental wellness and yoga fitness.

3. Lunch Time Intramural Program - For the month of February the grade 3 classes will be taking part in the noon hour lunch intramural program.  Students will be playing indoor soccer during the lunch hour on Mondays, Tuesdays and Thursdays.  Sign up sheets will be circulated on Monday (2) with the first games beginning the following week (Monday, 9).  Players are reminded to only sign up if they are going to attend consistently otherwise it makes it difficult for the remaining players on their team.

4.  Grade 3 & 4 GIRLS Floor Hockey - so the girl's floor hockey season is set to kick off.  Sign up sheets have been circulated to all the grade 3 and 4 classrooms and all players are asked to attend our first player's meeting during the AM recess on Tuesday (Feb, 3).  The girls will be practicing 3 times a week after school on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays.  A practice schedule and consent form will be handed out to all interested players at the Tuesday meeting.  The girl's floor hockey season wraps up in early March with the annual division wide Shooting Stars Girls Floor Hockey tournament held at RBES.
