Phys Ed - Target Games

 For the last few weeks, students in grade one have been working on building their throwing, kicking, and fair play skills through target games.  During our phys. ed classes, students have had the opportunity to participate in different target activities such as kicking and throwing a ball into a net, aiming for bowling pins with a variety of materials, and participating in a variety of centers and games.  Throwing a ball or beanbag overhand and underhand along with kicking a ball are all skills that can be practiced at home.  


Learning Intentions:

I can move my body and be active in all areas of my life 

I can move safely in my space during different activities. 

I can play fairly and be engaged in different physical activities.

  For the last few weeks we have been building our understanding of patterns by looking at patterns and cycles found in our everyday life, creating our own patterns with different elements, extending and translating patterns using a variety of materials.  The following is a summary of the key ideas and concepts we have been learning. Learning Intentions I can recognize cycles encountered in daily routines and nature. I can identify the pattern core, up to four elements, in a cycle. I can d escribe change and what stays the same in repeating patterns and cycles. I can copy a pattern of up to four elements in a different way (translate). I can extend a pattern. What Is a Repeating Shape Pattern? A repeating shape pattern is a sequence of 2-D shapes or 3-D objects where a first set of shapes or objects repeats over and over. The smallest set of items that repeats is called the core of the pattern. Since repeating patterns always involve some sort of repetition, knowing the core o...
