PHYSED OCTOBER

October means cold weather, wind and chill days, but doesn't mean that we are going to stop doing exercises. This month at P.E class the children started doing more endurance activities. Winter sports like Hockey are going to be introduce in order to get more hand and eye coordination and of course have fun. 

Every week we work hard to get better balance by holding some postures or by walking in the balance beam,  because having good balance is important for many daily activities  for the children, like simple walking  or going up and down the stairs , but in this case also is an activity that looks to help those children that are practicing ice skate,  ski or snow boarding.

PHYSED SEPTEMBER

September was a busy month, some few weeks to settle down and get it to the routines but after all gym class start running in a really good way; the main goal for the month was to improve children hand eye coordination and golf was our sport activity to get it.

The routine in P.E class begins with basic movements to warm up, like balance activities, a lot of movement to get fit and stretching to be ready for the main activity. 

This time the use of an element like  the club was important to work on coordinative movements but at the same time on rules for the classroom, like how to manage space and respect turns, how to be careful with their friends and with the materials.

This main theme is going to keep growing with the children during the year with different materials and are activities according to the progress and needs of the groups.

Finally this is my advise: looking forward for the cold weather and the activities for winter time, could be a really good idea to have a fun fit family time doing yoga at home.
