Dear Parents,
Our Grade Four students had a very active start in Physical Education.
Through the group games and team building activities during the first week of school students had a
chance to bond with their old friends and to get to know their new friends better. Working cooperatively
with others, and respecting similarities and differences is very important to our fourth graders, since
we’re currently on our first team sport for this school year – Basketball.

The Grade Four students worked on developing their basic basketball skills, crucial for success in games.
We practiced dribbling with a dominant and non-dominant hand, and changing our speed and direction
on court. We also worked on passing and shooting into a basketball hoop from different distances, sta-
tionary or in-motion. Through different drills and modified games, we were learning about the rules and
regulations of the game, which we have started to play recently. As always, the final score is not our main
focus, but applying all our skills and knowledge in game play, as well as displaying the teamwork and co-
operation.
