PE at Home - Lesson #10 - Monday 6/1

Phys Ed Athon - Decathlon

In the spirit of the Olympics, I will be challenging you with events starting with the Marathon and leading all the up to the Decathlon!

Our last stage of the Phys Ed Athon! We are taking on the Decathlon this week! Hopefully you have been following along and know that this week we need to compete in TEN (10) events.

The Decathlon is the ultimate Summer Olympic competition. The events are as follows...

(first day) 100-meter dash, long jump, shot put, high jump, and 400-meter run;

(second day) 110-metre hurdles, discus throw, pole vault, javelin throw, and 1,500-metre run.

You'll notice that the Decathlon is very similar to the Heptathlon from last week. You are very right! the Decathlon have three (3) additional events to the seven from last week. They are the Pole Vault, Discus Throw and 1,500 meter run

Scores and times are measured against all of the competitors for each of the events and then compiled to determine a winner.

Please watch the videos and make the events work for you. My PE at Home video is the same one from last week. Im asking you to watch it again as well as the pole vault and discus videos to help you create your own events. The 1500 meter run is almost twice (2x) as far as the 800 meter run. Use different stuff around the house for your equipment. We used chairs, broom sticks, bocce balls and cones to make our events work. Use your imagination when making yours!

Watch the Decathlete Story! Listen and Write Down some of your favorite quotes from the athletes who are in the story. Let these quotes drive you through our times. I can't wait to see you next fall!

We will be Stronger!

The Biathlon is a Winter Olympic competition that has athletes Cross Country Skiing as fast as they can while stopping at times for Target Shooting!!!

WELCOME TO PHYSICAL EDUCATION

I would like to welcome you and your child to another exciting school year at Scenic Hills. Our PE classes will be quite unique with the recent times having us get our work done at home. When we are in school, your child will be involved in various activities that will improve and develop his/her physical and social skills. The Physical Education program will focus on movement concepts, skill themes, educational games, fitness and wellness as well as sport lead up games. Our program will also promote team building and cooperative skills, fair play, respect, having fun and positive attitude toward physical activity. Now that we are at home, we can expand on the concepts we've worked on in school. I'll be asking students to take simple concepts that we worked on in class and have them reinforce and expand at home.

Play Fair, Play Safe and Have Fun!!!!!

SAFETY

Please remember that in order to have safe play all students should wear proper footwear and clothing in order to participate in our classes. Comfortable clothing like t-shirts and sweatpants on the day of your child’s class is highly recommended. Please consider your workspace.
