Grade 6
3/29 Grade 6 has already chosen their dance for this quarter's unit. They will be learning about physical expression through a dance from a video game called Just Dance 2. In health after the break we will be collecting health messages from around a community and critiquing them.
11/3 The students were learning about the endocrine system this week and how it controls everything that happens during adolescence. In PE I was blown away by the beep test improvement by everybody in the class.
10/27 Grade 6 will begin recording their fitness results for a variety of movements next week after learning about training concepts and trying out some of them this week.
9/29 Grade 6 gave a great conflict resolution presentation this week in health, showing good negotiation and mediation skills for solving conflicts between people. The exams next week will test our volleyball improvement and understanding of technique.
9/7 Today we talked about friendships and conflict resolution in Health class. Let's apply these skills to our every day lives to make our relationships with other people even more positive. These skills can also be used to be a good team player in PE class.
Reminder: There is no PE class on Friday 9/8 because it is a school holiday. Enjoy the break!
9/1 We saw glimpses of good volleyball play today in class. I saw a successful use of digs, sets and spikes in one play. The class is starting to look like a volleyball team.

8/25 Our volleyball skills are starting to come together. Now we can work more on strategy when playing volleyball....
We have been learning about and thinking about ourselves! It is important that we understand how to improve at everything in life including our relationship with ourselves and others. How we think of ourselves is important so remember to be nice to yourself.
