Hello, Grade 1 Families,
Learning Intention: I can demonstrate various ways of moving safely through space during physical activity.
During our gym times, which we have every day, we have been working on moving safely in our gymnasium and outside spaces. Students have been learning tag games and tarmac games they could play outside during recess. Our focus has been to always be looking and watching for other people and obstacles so we can remain safe and prevent injuries to ourselves and others. Ask your child which tag game is their favourite and why? See if your child can teach you a new tag game. When we assess this skill we are looking for students to safely navigate through personal and general space, consistently making thoughtful choices to avoid collisions or obstacles. As well as demonstrate a strong understanding of safety principles.
We had the opportunity to work with iPads this week. Students used a QR code to access Lalilo and Starfall. Lalilo is a reading program and home access information was sent home this week. Links to both, Lalilo and Starfall, can be found on the sidebar of our blog as well.
"My favourite game was freeze tag because you put out your arms for someone to come and unfreeze you." ~ IC
"I liked the hot dog tag game because you lay on the ground and people come and be your bun beside you." ~VW
"Everyone's It tag because I liked how everyone was it." ~HG
"I liked the abracadabra game because you tell us fun things to do." NB
"I liked the hot dog tag because you had to squirt ketchup on your friends." VK
Please remember to book a conference time! I look forward to chatting about the start of our school year, your child and what we will learn this year.
