Using Games to Stay Active

Hello Friends!

It's so nice to be back at school learning and moving together face to face! As we wrap up May and move into June our Division 1 students are going to be learning a variety of games to put their sports skills into action. 

We will be learning the 5 basic types of games to reinforce the skills of throwing, catching, striking, kicking, dribbling, dodging, walking, running and several other sport related skills!

1) Tag Games: dodging skills

2) Net and Wall Games: throwing, catching, hand and eye coordination

3) Striking and Fielding Games: kicking, throwing, catching, running

4) Invasion and Territory Games: strategy, throwing, kicking, catching, running, dodging

5) Target Games: throwing for accuracy

Please visit the link below for games you and your family can play to further develop these skills while also staying active!

Getting Outside to be Active

 

Good Morning Friends!

Hopefully you have been enjoying the great weather! Not too much of a surprise that we are having winter like conditions as we move into the long weekend! Seems to never fail that Calgary ends up with snow for the May Long! Hopefully you and your family can bundle up and brave the elements to enjoy some movement outside this long weekend! 

During online PE these last two weeks we have been discussing the importance of keeping our minds and bodies strong by being active. However, I have also been reminding students how important it is to get outside and move in the fresh air. 

Today I would like to share an article from Active for Life that provides 18 different ways to get your kids outside and enjoying being outside. Please see the article for some great ideas to be active with your family outside!
