Hello!

I am currently supporting classrooms with literacy activities, but I will continue to update my blog on a regular (weekly) basis.

Video of Panorama Hills School teachers doing gymnastics (this was also posted to the google classrooms):

This is a challenging and stressful time for all of us and changes in routine can be hard on students. The following video was made for students and it talks about why we might lose control of our emotions:

For the hockey fans, Connor McDavid has some workouts posted:

It looks like we have some decent weather in store for us (finally!) Hope everyone can enjoy some safe physical activity outside (walking, biking, scooters, jump rope, inline skating, etc.) over the coming weeks!

Hello Panorama Hills Students!

What is physical and health literacy? Pick one of the videos below to find out more! (Then make sure you go do something active!)

Did you know?

Only 7% of Canadian children and youth get the recommended 60 minutes or more of moderate to vigorous physical activity at least six days a week.

Panorama Hills School
I want to hear about the different ways you are staying active! What are your favourite activities? Are you going outside? Do you have a favourite dance or exercise video? I would like to hear different ideas from the experts (you!) so I can make a list of ideas that other students might enjoy as well! You can email me (Ms. Bain) your ideas at lcbain@cbe.ab.ca, or you can write your ideas under the Physical Education section on your google classroom.

Thanks for reading the Physical Education blog!
