What Did Students Do?

Students participated in a week of curling in physical education this week.  They had the opportunity to watch some professional curling in class and to learn about the sport.  They then got to try it out for themselves in the gym.  A tournament took place in each class which caused a great deal of excitement, fostered teamwork, and gave players a chance to improve their skills throughout the week.  If you walked by the gym this week during grade five curling you would have heard much cheering and laughter as they encouraged each other and celebrated their successes.  




Family Connections

Ask your child:

-How did your team do in the tournament?  How did you work together to experience success?

-What did you do differently throughout the week to improve your skills in curling?

-How do you score in curling?

We discussed different ways to share information and students identified talking, signing, writing, pictures, and more as ways to do this. They determined that when sharing information, it needs to be clear and interesting. They then created a target to ensure their posters w...
