Skating

 For PE the students in grades 1 through 6 have been going skating. This week I was lucky enough to join them. After a nice walk to the rink and the rigmarole of putting on and lacing numerous skates, the students were ready to skate.
 Some of the students practice their new found skating abilities and practice keeping their balance with the help of the teachers.




 For fun, this week the some of the kids brought hockey sticks and pucks and we went through a few basic hockey drills. The compact layer of snow on top of the ice made the skills more challenging but the kids rose to the challenge and seemed to enjoy it.  Of course after practicing the hockey drills the students were already to play a game of shinny!
