Hey boys and girls. For this week I would like my Grade 4/5 students to continue completing their Phys Ed Log from the previous week and the Grade 2/3 to continue with the DEAM Calendar which is for the month of January. Just a reminder that I will be collecting both the Phys Ed Logs and DEAM Calendars at the end of our home learning. Look for new material to be sent home with next weeks learning packet on Friday.

As a bonus to help get yourself moving check the daily workout that should only take a few minutes of your time. It will be titled by the day of the week.

Hey everyone and Happy New Year! Hopefully you received the Physical Education log that came in your learning pack. Each day students will be expected to do their best at checking off the three different sections of Physical Activity to give you 60 minutes in total. The categories are Activite Outside, Walking with family and friends and Dance. This comes to a total of 60 minutes. Being active outside should be the easy complete as there are many activties you can do this time of year such as building a snow fort, skating on an outdoor rink, snow shoeing, cross country skiing or building a snow man. If you are new to dancing (it can also be any movement to music) I am posting a few links that will help you get this portion completed. If you have any questions at all about the Phys Ed Log please do not hesitate to email me at ryan.flynn@nbed.nb.ca

Logs will be collected at the end of our Home Learning.

Grade 2-5:

Hey boys and girls. We have been working on overhand throwing activities the past several weeks and so today we will continue to practice those skills with a few activities laid out below.

Warm-up- In an area in your home make sure you have enough space to do the following - Jog in place for 45 seconds, complete 10 squats, complete 5 burpees and complete 25 jumping jacks. Try to do three rounds of these exercises to get your body warmed-up. If you do not have enough space in your living area go for a brisk walk for 15-20 minutes in your neighbourhood. 

Activity #1:

"Surprise Rebounder". Find a ball of any size and a wall. Have someone stand behind you with the ball and throw it against the wall without you looking. How quick can you react to catch the ball? After five catches switch roles and you play the role of thrower and have that person try to catch the ball. Remember our throwing steps - bring arm in circular motion up to your ear, step with thhe opposite foot and release. 

Activity #2:

"Sock fight". Roll up several pairs of socks and these will act as your object to throw. Find a few family member or friends to play with. Each player begins with a pair of socks rolled up with their hands. Count backward together from five and when you hit zero let the games begin by trying to throw a pair of socks at other people. Each player has three lives and when hit they lose a life. Last player to keep all their lives wins.

Hey everyone! I hope you have been following our Phys Ed Lesson Calendar that has been posted each Monday and are doing your best to stay sharp. With the new "Circuit Breaker" restrictions I thought I would share some charade activities that you can try within your family bubble this weekend. This will not only be a fun way to enjoy each others company but also get you moving either indoors or outdoors. 

It looks like we will be doing more online learning at least to start next week so please check back Monday morning for your weekly Phys Ed Lessons.

Have a great weekend!

Hey everyone! I hope your week is going well and that you are getting outside to practice your soccer skills and using the DEAM Calendar to keep track of your physical activity. Below is another activity that will allow you to not only keep fit but to also get creative. The first link is a "Fruit Fortune Teller" that you can cut out and create to try on your family and friends. After trying that out the second link allows you to make up your own using healthy food and other exercises (try burpees, mountain climbers, push-ups, jumping jacks, inch worms). If you need help understanding of how to fold the fortune teller there will be a link to a youtube video at the end of this paragraph. The weather has been great so get outside and stay active!

One way to work out while keeping our physical distancing is with Tabata workouts which are broken into 20 second sets of exercises followed by a 10 second break between each one. Students in Grades 3-5 are familiar with these as we used them as a warm-up throughout the year on numerous occassions. If you are unsure of what an exercise looks like use ctrl and click the link to see a short video. Enjoy keeping fit!

Hey boys and girls. I found a neat challenge on the web that takes no time at all and all you need is a water bottle. Here is how it works:

-Fill a water bottle up halfway 

-Time yourself for one minute

-Complete 3 jumping jacks and flip the bottle two times for every 3 jumping jacks

-Each successful flip equals one point.

How many points can you get in one minute??? Send a video or picture and send it to me showing our learning community how you've been staying active!

An example of this challenge is:
