Week 3 Term 3 PE

The SIS Physical Education Department has been starting an international dance unit while we are having school online. Our Chinese dance was illustrated by a Grade 1 student.

Week 2 Term 3 PE

The children have been stretching and exercising in PE via Zoom and Seesaw. This is a lovely picture in response to our PE activity by a Grade 2 student. 

Week 1 Term 3 PE

We have been dancing recently in our Seesaw online learning program. Here is a picture from one of the responses from the children. Do the bump!

PE Week 12 PE

We made a star for one of our PE activities in Kindergarten to enhance our manual dexterity (hand muscles).

Week 11 Term 2 PE

Here are some home activities that we have been doing in PE from the eyes of a youngster.

Week 10 Term 2 PE

At Seesaw online school, some of us used robot hands to pick up objects.

This game helped us to experience what a special needs person felt like. 

Week 9 Term 2 Upper PE

In one of our online PE classes, we matched countries to their national sports. 

Week 8 Term 2 Upper PE

In PE, some of us played the mosquito game. We wore mosquito hats and tagged people with our pool noodles.

We also did some uplifting activities in calisthenics. 

It has been said that calisthenics are better for muscle mass as compared to weight lifting. 

Term 2 Week 7 Upper PE

We used our scooters as sleds and the guides could push us very fast. 

We have added some more tennis rackets to our collection. We are playing indoor tennis by using the mats as  tennis nets. You can see action shots next week!

The children straddled  and went over this makeshift vaulting horse. 

The students are climbing up the walls these days. We are learning to do handstands and stretch at the same time. 

Week 6 Term 2 Upper PE

We have new mats that fold up like briefcases. 

We also ordered scooters which have arrived. The children played a game called Spaghetti and Meatballs. The object of the game was for the "its" to use  bouncy balls (meatballs) for mobility and tag other students bu throwing a Frisbee.  The spaghetti  people road scooters and tagged students with pool noodles. Once a person is tagged then they need to do exercise on a mat  such as push ups, sit ups and jumping jacks. 

We had a kayak race using scooters. The purpose of the pool noodle was to keep the children's hands above the scooter wheels and it acted as a paddle.

Week 5 Term 2 Upper PE

In our gym, we made music for our Celebration of Learning.

Term 2 Week 4 Upper PE

Grade 4 did a soccer passing drill and worked on their technique to aim the ball straight.

Term 2 Week 3 PE

We are continually thinking of ideas to accommodate our new PE equipment in our closet.

We have new junior size rackets and padded hula hoops. 

Term 2 Week 2 Upper PE

A part of the PYP is being balanced. We have been trying to balance balls on our feet and head.

The brim of the hat helped us to achieve our goal. 

Look Mom, no hands!

There is a certain amount of bravado when you achieve your goal!

We can accomplish the task even with a basketball.

We are, however, hoping this balancing act will help us with our soccer skills.

Week 1 Term 2 Upper PE

We have new soccer goals for our classes! 

In addition to the goals, SIS has new lines courtesy of Mr. Vamig, Mr. Tekin and the administration. 

Week 15 Term 1 Upper PE

We rolled our hoops in a relay format with teams. 

                                         

We have been trying to promote teamwork in this hoop over the head activity. 

We crab walked around the gym to build our strength and agility!

Balance is an essential element in our PE program.

Week 14 Term 1 Upper PE

Our one-on-one basketball tournament went well. 

We did a common basketball drill. Most of us used integrity when doing the drill.

Week 13 Term 1 Upper PE

 

Some of us played "War Ball" with big, medium and small size balls. If a person got hit with the medium sized ball then he/she needed to be dragged back to their home base and the person could play again. The little balls were used to score in the goals. 

Some of the goalies got creative and osculated big balls back and forth to ward away balls. 

Grade 5 and 6 are doing a basketball unit. Look at their teamwork!

Week 12 Term 1 Upper PE

We have begun a handball unit with some grade levels.

Week 11 Term 1 Upper PE

We have been practicing pushing the ball for table tennis training in PE. 

Next, we practiced with partners!
