New After School Sport Program Offered
In October, we will be starting to offer a free After School Program to students in Grades 1 through 5. During this program, children will have the chance to participate in sporting activities on a more informal basis than during lessons. The emphasis will be on fun and participation and all students will be encouraged to take part. The purpose of these activities will be as follows:
- To increase the physical activity time that children receive and to improve their fitness levels
- To offer children the chance to develop the skills they learn in PE lessons
- To allow the children to participate in new activities that they may not experience during curriculum time.
There will be three sessions offered, and each session will run for six weeks. Sessions for Grades 1 and 2 will be held on Mondays and sessions for Grades 3, 4 and 5 will be held on Fridays. For each group:
The first session activities will be: soccer for four weeks and mixed activities for two weeks.
The second session activities will be: basketball for four weeks and mixed activities for two weeks.
The third session activities will be: track and field for four weeks and mixed activities for two weeks.
Students going to Prime Time after the program will be walked over to the PS building.
Please see the letters that were sent home in mid-September in the agendas and by e-mail for specific dates and the registration form. For further information, contact Aurelien Noyelle in the PE Department at anoyelle@aischool.org.
