Grade 4 - Peace Forest Park Athletic Course Field Trip

Grade 4 went on a great field trip to the Peace Forest Park Athletic Course this week.  It was a great experience for the students to face many different types of physical challenges and utilize the ideas they have been learning in class about success, challenge and failure.  The students had the opportunity to practice being risk-takers and responding positively to both success and failure. It was a humiliating experience to fall in the water when a mistake was made, but everyone was a good influence and supportive of each other during their failures.  After falling down, the students all got back up again with a positive attitude of commitment and tried challenges again that were difficult.  Also, students used positive self talk when they were nervous going into a challenge, when a challenge was difficult and when faced with failure.

Everyone had a great time, not just playing, but having fun practicing and applying their learning to other parts of life outside of school.
