May has arrived and our focus now turns to being outside and practicing for Track and Field. Hopefully the weather will cooperate and we can get plenty of time outdoors.
Our
grades 4-8 will be practicing, in gym class, for our track meet which will be
held in June. Our grades 4-6 classes
will be working on such events as long jump, shot put, high jump and ball
throw. The running events are 80m, 150m
and 600m. Grades 7 & 8 will focus on
100m, 300m, 800m, 1200m, shot put, discus, long jump and high jump. So, there are a number of events for the
students to practice in.
Our grades K-2 classes will be concentrating
on working on their throws. We are
continuing our work with underhand throwing.
Now that the weather is nicer, this would be a great opportunity to go
out and spend some time with your child to work on the finer points of
throwing. Remember that whichever hand
you throw with, your opposite leg steps forward!
Once again, there is plenty of work to get
done in the month of May in the gym.
