This week in PE classes students practiced their striking skills with beach volleyballs. Students worked with pairs to strike the ball so their partner could strike it back. They used body control to strike the ball to their target. After some practice students had the opportunity to try to hit the ball over the big volleyball net. Students quickly realized that they had to use their legs and arms to get enough power to strike the ball over the net!!

We have set a date for the 2016 field day! It will be on Wednesday, June 1st on the field between Memorial School and Dale Street School. In past years, we have had parent volunteers help run activities. We will be sending out more information as the date gets closer. Make sure to mark your calendars!Students are rotating through various dribbling, shooting and passing stations with our mini basketballs. Students learned that they best way to have control of the basketball is by not slapping the ball with the palm of their hand but using their finger pads. Students also worked with a partner to practice their chest and bounce passing skills. Groups kept track of the amount of times they scored baskets to set a class record!
