Pre-Primary students used much of the same equipment as primary students with some modifications. They used the footballs and practiced tossing them up and watching the funny ways the ball bounced around due to its oblong shape They kicked them along the ground as well, trying to kick for distance The Pre-Primary classes practiced walking with their hands behind their back to and from the elementary blacktop so they could use the riding toys Students learned to take turns with the vehicles they liked to ride With the topple tube equipment, the class learned to build small formations and towers and practiced rebuilding their towers when they fell over Gold Door and White Door students spent time during each PE class running on the grass to prepare for the Jog-a-Thon at the end of April
Primary classes used footballs, topple tubes, riding toys, comets, frisbees, balance beam sets, jumbo speed stacks, and other equipment from January to June. With footballs, they practiced throwing the ball with the laces, punting it, flipping the ball end over end, and snapping it between their legs like the center in the NFL Primary cohorts spent their March and April PE days preparing for the Jog-a-Thon They practiced running in an oval pattern around cones The groups also played Red Light-Green Light for several PE classes
Pre-Primary Primary Elementary
Elementary classes covered street hockey, volleyball, flag football and baseball along with some other PE games during the second half of the school year The students spent three weeks playing each sport, learning specific skills to improve their game-playing ability. In hockey, each cohort played two weeks of games to build their understanding of rules and strategies such as defensive responsibilities and how to get open for shots on the goal Pillow polo was played two weeks in a row and was a compliment to the hockey unit since many of the same principles apply to both games
