Let me give you the T & F rundown before anything else. 1) We (Mrs. Erichuk's class and our class) have had our clinic with Kamloops Track and Field. They came to the school and gave us some great tips as they ran the kids through their paces in Shot Put, Triple Jump and High Jump. They are coming back twice this week to give pointers to the grade 3,4 and 5s. Then on Friday we start our first Track and Field afternoon rotation for everyone (bring good shoes and full gym strip).2) Next week we have three rotations (Mon, Wed, Fri afternoons)3) The following week we have our last rotation on the Monday and then our school Track meet on Wednesday, May 15 (all day). *The school 1500s are run on May 9 and the 800s on May 10.4) The zone 1500s are held at Parkcrest and are on May 16. That will also be the day that we have to send home permission slips for the Zones that take place on the Wednesday after the long weekend (May 22). This is the tightest turnaround time we have ever had so be ready to sign! It is ALWAYS necessary for any zone 200 m runners to have rides to the zones (up at TCC) so if there is a good likelihood that your child may be a qualifier (if they have in the past), be prepared to drive. In fact, the more people who drive and stay the day with their child, the better. We would love to have you.5) The districts take place on May 29 up at TCC
Whew! I feel tired just writing all that! Just in case you missed it from last week, the two grade 5/6 classes have decided that we will not be taking part in the swimming lessons this year. Instead we will try to book a day or two at the pool(s).
This Friday is International Day at Parkcrest. Our class has decided to focus on 'food'. Please send your child with some sort of offering from your culture or from another culture. We shall feast around 11:30 or so. Enough time to digest before our Track and Field practice in the afternoon.
