What ’s happening in P.E.
The P.E. classes are in full swing. Both the 5th and 6th grades are following the same path. Once per week they do sports. The sport in season is soccer. The class has worked on skills such as passing, dribbling and shooting. They have moved on to playing games in the gym.
They also have been doing fitness training in preparation for the physical fitness test which will be given starting in January. The test includes sit-ups, pull-ups, flexability, sprinting and the mile run.
The third time they come to the gym, they get to play games. These large group games are fun for them and gives them a chance to work on their teamwork and sportsmanship.
They have also been using the climbing wall. This serves to build their confidence and is fun to do.
Next up in sports will be mini units on football, volleyball and perhaps a game or two of Quidditch.
