| Basketball
 | We actually play Backboardball ,
which means that you get 1 point when you hit the backboard or the
rime, 2 points if you get a basket and 3 points when you get a "swish". Even
if you have never played basketball before, you can get good enough within
the unit to score points for your team. |
|
| Volleyball
| We actually play Throlleyball
because we throw the ball over, rather than volley it, though proper serves
do happen. Variations on this is also known as
Nukemball. |

| Skating
| We skate at Ed
Sackfield Arena. If students do not have skates, they may borrow skates
from the school. |
| All students are expected to participate.
This is one of the Canadian winter sports that all ages can enjoy.
|
| Students are evaluated on effort,
improvement and endurance. Controlled balance and confident gliding are the
skills emphasized. Courtesy and enthusiasm on the ice are expected. |
|
| Snowshoeing
| We snowshoe in school yard. Snowshoes are
provided (borrowed from the YRDSB Outdoor Education Depot). |
| We borrow the snowshoes for 1 week - usually in
February. If there is snow, then we go out every day. |
| Students are expected to wear boots, proper
winter clothing and gloves. |
| Snowshoeing, or "Shnoeing" as my
neighbour calls it, is a Canadian winter activity that is new to most young
students. It really makes you appreciate what it must have been like for the
First Nation People, Pioneers and Courier de Bois. |
|
 |
 |
 |
| Students learn how to put on snowshoes - the hardest
part of it all! |
Once you get the hang of it, snowshoe races are fun! |
Parent volunteers are always welcome, especially for
this activity. |

General Information & Guidelines
| Physical Education occurs about twice a week. |
| During good weather months, gym will happen
outside. Rain dates will be honoured. |
| From October to April, Phys. Ed. classes will
usually take place in the gym, though some outdoor winter sports will also be
planned |
| Students are expected to dress according to
the planned phys. ed. activity of the week. |
| Running shoes with non-marking soles are
required. Students wearing inappropriate shoes will be asked to participate in
bare feet. If it is unsafe to participate in bare feet (depending on the
activity), students will be asked to referee and or write a paper on the need
for appropriate foot wear. |
| Students need to wear a T-shirt and shorts for
gym. All students are expected to change into gym clothes for phys. ed.
classes. Track pants are acceptable. This outfit can be kept at the back of
the room on a hook. A small cloth gym bag is preferred. |
| Modesty is expected. No muscle shirts, net tops, bare
midriffs or skinny straps. |
| Clothing should not restrict movement. It should allow
for active participation, sitting on the ground and being inverted. |
| Jewellery is not to be worn during class. Dangly
earrings need to be removed. |
Parents who wish to have their child excused from
Phys. Ed. need to write a note in the Agenda on the day of class.
Kids love to play games. Many of the games that are played on the playground
have been around for many years - they just change a little over time & from
place to place. Want to find out more about some fun games, then check out:
By the end of Grade 5, students will:
| analyse information that has an impact on healthy eating practices (e.g.,
food labels, food guides, care-of-teeth brochures); |
| describe physical, emotional, and interpersonal changes associated with
puberty; |
| apply strategies to deal with threats to personal safety (e.g., in
response to harassment) and to prevent injury (e.g., from physical assault);
|

use, as well as the effects and legalities of, and healthy alternatives to,
