All classes have started working on an invasion games unit. Invasion games are games in which participants invade an opponent's territory to score. The skills and strategies used in the invasion activities are applicable to a lot of sports. If a student understands the basic concept behind keeping possession of an object in an territory game (e.g., use short passes, shield the ball, support the player with the ball), this will help them to play a variety of invasion games whose tactics can be applied to related sports (e.g., basketball, floor hockey, handball, etc.)
In middles years we are taking what we were learning about invasion games and using it in our McKinstry Cup unit. Grade 5-8's have been put on small teams and are practicing and playing games in PE in preparation for our McKinstry Cup tournament which will be held Dec. 7th.
Younger classes will be playing a variety of different invasion games in the upcoming weeks.
Intramural Floor Hockey starts this week as well as Performance Club. During Performance Club students chose between skipping, juggling and tinikiling (a Phillipino dance). Check out this video on YouTube to see what it looks like. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dEJFvh21bnQ
The Jump Rope team will also be starting the first week in December. The Jump Team will practice at lunch times and then after Christmas we will start practicing once a week after school. Anyone in grade 5-8 are welcome to join the team.
Grade 5-8's will also be starting archery as soon as the gym shuts down for Christmas concert. After school archery club will happen in February again this year.
Make sure to come by the gym for parent teacher interviews. There will be stations for your student to show you what we've been learning this term.
