K-3 Activity Day 2024
K-3 Activity Goes Off After A Little Rain Delay
On Monday, June 10th the K-3 Activity Day finally took place with cloudy skies which led to rain at around 10:30. K and Grade 1s came in and do some work and then headed back out for the afternoon with the Grades 2-3. With a few modifications and some sunny skies, we were resilient and had a great day. Classes were divided up into three groups each so we could have maximum throws, jumps and runs throughout the day. Attendance was high and our Grade 5s were on hand again to assist at the stations. Comments were made after the event that the Grade 5 helpers did a marvelous job and I tend to agree. They were keen and eager and did a masterful job of explaining and demonstrating to our younger students.
Stations included: plyometric boxes, 20 m slalom run, agility ladders and speed hula hoops, frisbee distance toss, tchoukball toss and catch, tug-of-war- balance, small ball-small cone agility, high step skipping with a ball, tic-tac-toe processing game, medicine ball lift and leap frog, whiffle ball accuracy throw, 10 m hurdles, rugby drop kicks, ring toss catching and throwing, football accuracy throwing, Chicken-fish-spice relay race, standing broad jump, obstacle course and tire flip, introduction to high jump and springboard long jump.
Students took on each station for approximately 7-10 minutes and then moved on to more stations and more challenges.
Huge WES salute to all teachers, Educational Assistants, parent and grandparent supervisors who assisted us with the day.
See you in the gym and please have a safe and fun summer outside playing sports, games, swimming and honing your skills!
Mr. Mitchell
