Physical Education Course Outline (Gr. 8) 2021 – 2022
The classes are coed, with Grades 6/7 taught separately from the 8. This year, our grade 8 PE classes will be mixed between the classes on the Yellow Team and the classes on the Orange Team. Each PE class will be assigned to a teacher. As the school year progresses, teachers may divide and combine their classes with the other three PE classes in each block. Students are expected to take part to the best of their ability, with a very strong emphasis on effort.
Gym Strip Due to COVID-19 Health and Safety Guidelines and Protocols, we will not be requiring students to change into PE strip; however, all students must wear non-marking soled running shoes to every PE class. Students are encouraged to wear active clothing on days that they have PE scheduled. Students are not permitted to wear coats or hoodies when participating in activities in the gym; however, students may wear a hoodie or coat - that does not restrict their physical movement - outside when participating in PE activities.
Students who participate on our athletic teams at SMS will be required to purchase and wear our SMS PE shorts to practice and for games. SMS shorts can be purchased at the Office for $15.00.
Running shoes are very important to your child’s health and safety. Shoes should be able to be laced up tightly. The skateboard style is NOT in any way meant to be used for running, as it provides little stability for the ankle and knee. A loose shoe is dangerous to other students; for instance, if it comes off as a student kicks a soccer ball. Please keep this in mind if you are buying new runners. Students should have clean indoor runners for the gym. Outdoor shoes track in dirt in the treads, and the grit wears away at the floor surface.
Why gym strip?
1. for reasons of personal hygiene.
2. to keep clean and dry, especially if we go outside on a rainy day.
3. safety. No buttons, zippers, buckles or pockets to catch on equipment, or another student. Good shoes support ankles and knees.
Change Rooms Due to COVID-19 Health and Safety Guidelines and Protocols, our change rooms at SMS will be closed for the year.
Injuries and illness happen. If a student is able to be at school, our expectation is that he/she will get changed, let us know what the problem is, and then participate in whatever way possible. A sore right arm still allows for the legs and left arm to exercise, for example. A student with chest congestion may have to walk instead of run. A “heads-up” to the teacher is all that is necessary.
Find out from your child on what days his/her PE classes occur, so that gym strip can be laundered and returned to the back pack for the right day.
While we teach the skills of the game, we emphasize effort, leadership, fair play, co-operation, and respect for others.
SCHOOL TEAMS – all students have the opportunity to play on all teams. Volleyball, cross-country running, basketball, badminton, rugby, track and field and mountain biking.
Athletes are expected to make a full commitment to the school team they are competing on. Coaches may remove an athlete from the team if commitments are not met. If any athlete breaks the commitment to a selected team by quitting, they may not participate in another sport during that school year.
Use of Equipment - Students wishing to use equipment (balls, Frisbees, skipping ropes, etc…) for both outside and inside lunch hour and open gym activities, will be required to present their student ID card to sign out equipment.
