What did students do?
This week, students had the opportunity to work with Dan from Elv8 Lacrosse to learn and practice lacrosse skills! Students practiced trapping, throwing and catching this week. They had some challenging hand-eye-coordination drills to work through. Students passed with a partner and learned how to throw underhand and overhand. They put these skills into playing a variety of games with their classmates. It was a fun and exciting week in Phys Ed! Check out some pictures of students in action below.

Jan 13 - 17, 2025 Phys-Ed Students analyze and apply strategies and tactics that support improved decision making in physical activities. Students demonstrate how collaboration influences physical activity. What Did Students Do? Students were involved in playing various territorial and invasion games such as Two-Ball, Castle, Tail Tag, and Three Ball. For all of these games, teamwork skills and strategizing was very important. Students needed to collaborate, communicate, and cooperate in order to achieve success. They were involved in kicking, running, throwing, and tagging. Each team needed to focus on defense while defending their territory and offense while invading the territory of the other team. With games such as two-ball there were many things happening all at once so they needed to be alert and aware. Students were engaged and excited to participate. We stopped regularly to evaluate what was working and what we needed to change so students had a voice in how the games progress...

   Feb 3 - 7 Science What Did Students Do? This week, students investigated displacement, buoyancy, buoyant force and gravitational force in Science. They also had opportunities to predict and test materials to determine whether they sank or could float. Firstly, students developed their understanding that when an object is placed in water, water will be displaced. We did a demonstration with students where two balls of clay of the same weight were used. One stayed in a round ball shape. The other was shaped into a boat that could float. Ask your child to tell you more about the demonstration. Was the same amount of water displaced? Different? Then, students were given two pieces of tin foil of the same size. They had to use one piece to create something that could float and the other piece to make something that would sink. Ask them to tell you about what they created, how they adjusted it and what they noticed. Students learned about buoyant force and gravitational force. As...
