Great Wall Runners (running program), spinning dunking dragons (see previous post), world air-toss (see below), Jedi Jugglers, Grade 2 circus, house color challenge (the classes compete against each other all year and accumulate points), mission impossible (they haven't done this one yet, so I'm not sure what it is yet), Terry Fox Run (cancer fund-raiser run).
These are all in-school programs that the kids CAN participate in if they choose to. A few weeks ago Zak watched his friend perform as part of the Jedi Jugglers - a program that they do during recess to learn how to juggle - once they master balls they go on to rings, then clubs. The kids just love it!
So, for PE they have been playing this game that their PE teacher made-up. They swing on the gym ropes and then their classmate hands them a ball and if they make a basket it's 5 points, if they make it into one of the 3 garbage cans it's 3 points, and if they make a basket and it lands in a garbage can it's 8 points. They do two 10 minute rounds, switching sides in-between.
Here is Zak (He is wearing a beanie - I have no idea why, good luck maybe??)
The PE coach introduced it as the WORLD air-toss championship because "I'm pretty sure we are the only ones in the world who do this." :)
The 2012 4th grade champions!!
