Dear Parents and Students,
I would like to welcome everyone to a year of FUN in Physical Education (P.E.). Our number one goal is to develop positive attitudes towards a Lifetime Commitment and Enjoyment to Fitness and Sport. The P.E. program will emphasize physical fitness incorporating a variety of individual, small and large group activities. The focus will be not only on performing the motor skills, but also on knowledge, teamwork and sportsmanship. There is a vital link between mind and body, where children are able to retain information better when given a chance to expend their energy in a positive and structured manner.
The goals for students in physical education are:
• To emphasize fun while increasing students’ levels of physical fitness.
• To teach knowledge of rules and strategies when playing a game or activity.
• To emphasize the self-satisfaction of giving one’s best effort, regardless of winning or losing.
• To help all students become aware of their capabilities while participating in various activities.
The rules for students in physical education are tightly bound to those of the greater Blake School.
1. Safety: We move in a safe and controlled manner being aware of surroundings and situations that may pose risk.
2. Welcome: Be a friend, be nice, ask others to play and welcome all into our activities.
3. Respect: Take care of equipment, follow the rules, listen to and follow directions, take care of each other
PLEASE REMEMBER TO WEAR YOUR TENNIS SHOES THAT ARE FULLY ENCLOSED!
