Flag Football

We played flag football outside on the field for a week a couple weeks ago. One morning, we watched a PowerPoint about football: history, rules, organizations, roles on the field, differences between Canada/US, equipment and variations of football (flag, touch). You've been given a thick hand-out of the PowerPoint and it will be useful for your study guide.

You've been evaluated:

1) for your skills:
                snap, throw, retreive, and rush

2) some of your strategies:
                hook, fly, post and flag

3) for your team play:
                sharing roles, passing fair to everyone, involving everyone in group discussion, positive attitude

Questions, please feel free to ask! :)

Cardiovascular Fitness

Today, we did basic circuit training to evaluate our cardiovascular fitness. We did 10 stations for 45 second each and with 45-sec aerobic activity in between. After each activity, we noted down our heart rate based on 10 second.

At the end, we sat down together, calculated our heart rate to see our beats per minute per activity.We needed to know if we worked harder or not by looking at Target Heart Rate zone.

For homework, you need to record "under", "within", or "above" your target heart rate zone and then make a chart to see the ups and downs of heart rates depending on the activities you performed. We will discuss our findings after homework.

Good job! Next time when we do the basic circuit training, we have to be quick at transferring from station to station and checking your pulse.

Attached is the papers you've worked on today.

The Basic Circuit Training we did today...

MHR is maximun heart rate... which one's heart beats per minute should not go over. 50-60% is under the target heart rate zone. 70% to 90% is within the target heart rate zone. Over 90% is above the target heart rate zone.

Just do the chart... not the questions below.

Horseback Riding Trip - Oct.16

Please note on your school planner of our field trip on Tuesday, October 16th to Wildwood Manor Ranch. We will leave on the school bus at about 9:15am and return to school at about 2pm. Letters will be given to you next week before Friday to have your parents/guardians fill them with approval. Please have them returned to your teacher on Monday, October 1st.

We will discuss about horses before the trip so we know more about them when we ride on them. Information about horses will be posted.

Please keep in mind that Wildwood Manor Ranch will provide us some hot delicious lunch! :)

Looking forward to our trip! Don't forget to dress warm!
