St. Christopher School

The 4th 5th and 6th Grades have been so lucky this year with the weather!  Just about every week we have been able to make it down to the park where we have been able to play a variety of capture the flag games, frisbee, football and big group games.  The kids love being outside however, the time has come for us to return to the church hall.  We have been spending some time enjoying the season and playing some fun Christmas games.  Their favorites are always the games that involve the scooters!   We are looking forward to a floor hockey and a volleyball unit indoors this winter.

The younger classes have spent some time working on underhand throwing.  We have learned the sequence of “tic – toc – step with your opposite foot”.  We still need to practice getting our ball to cooperate in going over the rainbow.  We have also spent a couple of classes playing some fun Christmas activities that they have really enjoyed.  The children especially loved Rudolph’s treasure game because it involved the use of the scooters!   This winter we will continue to focus on underhand and overhand throwing, striking skills (using paddles and sticks) as well as some games which will use the skill of volleying.

There is lots of excitement in the school these days!   Your children are always a pleasure to teach!
