LACROSSE COMES TO ST. JAMES

This month in PE we are learning about a new sport, Lacrosse.  We are at the moment learning about our stick. We are learning how to catch and how to throw.  After much practice with this skill, we will learn the rules and positions for this sport. We will modify the sport to fit our class.  The students are very excited about getting to learn something new and I am excited for them. We will also continue to play Volleyball and Basketball for this month.  We have focused so much on fundamentals in 4th and 5th grade, we are now starting to play more games with our familiar sports. We have started using an official size volleyball and are learning the overhead serve.  Pictured below are some of the students practicing catching and throwing using their Lacrosse sticks.
