We were fortunate to have nicer weather for our school Terry Fox run on Monday, Sept. 23. Thank you to all the students, staff, parents and families who participated and supported our run! We even had a section of parent cheerleaders encouraging our walkers and runners!

Tuesday, Oct. 1 is the last day to bring in donations for Terry Fox. We hope to let you know our final total by Thursday. Stayed tuned to see if we were able to meet our school goal or raising $1000.00 for cancer research!  

This week we started working on throwing and catching skills. Students were also allowed to vote for their choice of gym activity as a reward for their hard work during the Terry Fox run. Dodgeball was a popular choice amongst many of the older classes.

Gym Safety

Students need indoor running shoes they can put on independently. If your child has shoelaces, please make sure they are able to tie them efficiently enough, so the laces stay done up during gym activities. Otherwise, we recommend Velcro runners until this skill has been learned.

Ask Me About:

Gr. 1 and 2- What does the ready position look like when catching a ball? (feet apart, knees slightly bent, hands up ready to catch, eyes looking at the thrower and the ball)

Gr. 3 to 5- Can you show a proper wall push-up or clapping wall push-up? How many can you do in 30 seconds?

Students have been learning about Terry Fox and his determination, courage and desire to help others. We are working on increasing our cardiovascular endurance for the Terry Fox walk/run.

We have also been practicing soccer skills such as kicking, dribbling and passing.
