All classes this week we had a combination of Combatives Games, Pickleball/Tennis, Handball in PE. The Pickleball/Tennis was an extension of our previous Tennis Classes when we had the instructor from the Alberta Tennis Center. The Combatives Games were a mix of different type of Wrestling Games on our Mat in the Aux Gym. All classes were great in the Combatives and they really enjoyed the games and battles.

Next Week: 

Grades 7 & 8 - We will be doing our final Health Unit which is Human Sexuality, you should have received the forms from your child. We also have a Wrestling Coach coming in to the school from SAIT so the class will also have time with the Wrestling Coach.
