By Ms. H. Thompson, PE Teacher

On Friday, November 20, Ms. Jefferson’s grade 4 class and the Pre-K afternoon class spent some time exercising together in the annex mini-gym and had a wonderful time learning from one another.

Since September, the little buddies have been learning some movement rhymes for their warm up and they showed these to their big buddies:

Small as a mouse, big as a house, take me over the rainbow.

Twist like a snake, tall as a rake, let the rain fall down.

Sit in a chair, climb the stairs, hop around in a circle.

Next the buddies travelled to different stations together, including scarf throwing, bouncy ball catching (they’re tricky!), and yoga poses, including the Pre-K favourite: The LION! Roar!

The grade 4s were helpful in teaching the little buddies how to throw and catch using hand-eye coordination. The little buddies enjoyed the one-on-one time to share all that they have learned thus far in PE with Mrs. Thompson. There was lots of moving, sharing, learning and caring with our buddies.
