Jump Rope Jumpathon

Jump Rope For Heart Jumpathon

On Friday May 5^th from 10:30-11:00 the students from Colonel J Fred Scott Elementary School are invited to go outside to join us in our jumpathon.  The jumpathon is our schools final celebration of our fundraising efforts and awareness for the Heart and Stroke Foundation.  Research has shown that physical health and mental health are intertwined.  By having the students outside skipping for a half an hour they will not only be improving their physical health, but also their mental health.

“Physical fitness is not only one of the most important keys to a healthy body, it is the basis of dynamic and creative intellectual activity.”

Soccer

In the month of April the students at CJFS have been working on a soccer unit in gym.  Students have used their knowledge of spatial awareness and developed the ability to control an object with their feet rather than hands and make strategic and effective decisions when in a mini game situation. They have been required to implement their team work skills and maintained a positive attitude within themselves and amongst their classmates.

Right to Play

Our school hosted a Right to Play assembly on February 22, 2017.  The assembly talked about the importance of play with the students and how every student can play their part.  The second part of this program will involve bringing a group of students to a Right to Play workshop in early April where students will learn a variety of activities and games that they will bring back to the school and teach the other students at the school during lunch hour and recess time.  We will be ending this program in June by celebrating what we learned by hosting a today we play day where students will have a chance to participate in a variety of games and sports that they learned about in the previous months.

Gymnastics

-In the month of February, students will work on the application of basic skills in educational gymnastics by experiencing, refining, selecting and performing.  They will be working on sequences, stunts and tumbling.  Gymnastics is a progressive unit and will begin with floor gymnastics, followed by benches and balancing.  In the third week of gymnastics the students will have an opportunity to safely utilize the Canadian Climber at CJFS.  We will be having mission impossible in the last week of February as a culmination of what we have learned in the unit.

Floor Hockey/ RIngette/ Sledge Hockey

In the month of January, students have been working on interacting positively with others in order to develop respectful communication skills through teamwork.  They have been learning the safety and fundamental skills of floor hockey, ringette, and sledge hockey.  After learning the fundamental skills, the CJFS students have been able to apply these skills in a variety of game play situations.

Snowshoeing

Starting on Monday, January 16- January 20 the students at Colonel Fred J Scott elementary school will have the opportunity to use snowshoes during the physical education classes.  The students will be using the snowshoes in the outdoor environment of our school to help explore methods of leading an active and healthy life.  Students are asked to dress appropriately for the weather during these times as we will be spending our learning times outdoors.  Please note that if the weather is -20 or below, the snowshoeing activity for the day will be canceled.
