NEW PE Fun at Edna Maguire…

We’re hoping the sun will be back next week as we start lacrosse and our racquet sports unit. For the first time ever at Edna Maguire we’ll be introducing lacrosse. With the support of our wonderful PTA we were able to purchase new sticks and balls! We’ll be introducing basic stick skills and fun drills for the students to get used to this new sport.

We will follow by introducing badminton and tennis. Our hard top will be converted into one big court as we string our nets from end to end. For the first time we’ll have plenty of racquets to go around THANKS to the generous donations of our PTA. We now have enough racquets to accommodate even our largest classes.

Looking Ahead…

Jump Rope for Heart – February

We began introducing jump ropes into our January activities. Students practiced basic jumping, participated in jump rope relays and group jumping. Some students even impressed us with their jump rope tricks. Come February all students should be ready to jump for healthy hearts.

Life Skill of the Month – Common Sense

We try and reinforce the life skill of the month in our teaching and expect students to use them to the best of their ability. To ensure a safe, friendly and fun physical activity environment, everyone should use Common Sense when making decisions.
