In our last week of basketball we continued working on effective communication, dribbling skills and game play.
Next week we start lacrosse! Assuming the weekend blizzard melts soon we will be outdoors as often as possible so please send your child in good outdoor footwear. It is hard to run in rubber boots, runners are best. Also, swimming starts in two weeks for our grades 1, 2 and 3 students. Please ensure you are ready on the first day of swimming, Tuesday May 7 by sending your child with bathing suit, goggles, and towel. PLEASE LABEL EVERYTHING! We are still looking for male volunteers to help in the change rooms before and after swimming lessons so please talk to your child's teacher if you are available to help out. A valid police clearance is needed. This was our third week of basketball learning. Students in grades 3 to 6 began making teams and playing games in hopes of improving on their learned skills of dribbling, passing and shooting. Students in grades K to 2 continued working on basic skill development, especially dribbling. Here are a few learning outcomes covered this week:
Communication Tire Nom Ballon Grades 1 and 2 played golf K tried shooting for the first time! We continued our learning about basketball this week. Students learned how to shoot the ball, how to do a chest pass, a bounce pass and an overhead pass (grades 3 and up). Here are some of the learning cues we used to help reinforce proper form, see if your child can explain what they mean or what it should look like. Shooting: - main de côtés - lettre C (doigt d'index!) - Biscuit! Chest/Bounce pass - main en diamant - bras droites - pas - après moitié (bounce pass only) Overhead pass - ballon en haut - coudes serrées - pas Special thanks to Darcy G and Gordon B for their help in getting the basketball boards finished up. BOKS continues to rock! Tuesday and Thursday mornings from 7:30 to 8:00 am in the main gym. There is still time to join if you'd like to get some activity before the start of day. is This week we started basketball. Students worked through a number of fun warm up drills like copycat, freestyle and free shooting. We also had some special guests from University of Calgary Dinos come to play some games with the students and show them some skills.
Students in all grades should be able to speak to the following dribbling learning outcomes: - pose athlètique - pousser avec les doigts - nombril The groups that saw me three times also began work on chest passes and bounce passes. Ask them about the success criteria for a good pass which should include: - doigts en diamant - pas - bras droites We will be working on basketball skills until the end of April. |
