STEP INTO SPRING FUN RUN

 

This week we’ve started the game invented by James Naismith…basketball. Our focus this week is ball handling. We also had some “Magic with Science”. Here are a few photos of the action.

This week we’ve been busy introducing some new activities: DROM flexibility warm-up, Just Dance 3 for the Wii, Pillow Polo, and Noodle games. Here are photos of the action.

Wishing everyone a happy and safe holiday season. Here are some photos of this week’s action.

Northside students gave another great performance this year. My hat is off to Mr. Johnson and the students of Northside. Nice job!!!

Here are a few photos from the program Monday night.

In class this week, we’ve continued to work on throwing and catching with all age groups. The first two days of the week, grades K-2 played “Fitness Dodgeball”, and grades 3-5 played “Backboard Dodgeball”. Both groups worked on fitness, balance and having fun through a variety of different stations on Day 3.

Here are some photos of the action. You’ll also see some photos of students during the Jim Gill assembly.

This  week with K-1, we played a game to work on throwing skills called “Pin Ball”. We finished the week with center activities that incorporated hula hoops, balance and aim.

With grades 2-5, we played a game called “Battleship”. This game encourages the students to use teamwork and strategy. This game also encourages proper throwing skills to accomplish the mission of sinking the other teams battleships. Finally, we finished the week with center activities that incorporated hula hoops, a balance (tug-of-war), and fitness.

Attached are photos of some of the action.

Attached is a registration form for GYB (5th grade girls basketball)

This week we’ve continued to work on skills with hula hoops, and played a game called Ring Toss. We also discussed what we were thankful for, and played Thanksgiving Turkey Round-up or Stuff the Turkey. Here are photos taken from this weeks action.

 

This week we’ve introduced hula hoops at all levels. Students have been asked to perform different movements with a hula hoop.

I’ve attached some interesting facts or records for hula hoops.

World records

Duration

An early duration record for the hula hoop was set by 11-year-olds Paulette Robinson, Charles Beard and Patsy Jo Grigby in Jackson, Mississippi lasting 11 hours and 34 minutes (August, 1960). The event was sponsored by radio station WOKJ. 8-year-old Mary Jane Freeze, won a hooping endurance contest on 19 August 1976, by lasting 10 hours and 47 minutes. The current record is held by Bric Sorenson of the United States, who went 90 hours between April 2, and April 6, 1987.

The longest verified record holder is Aaron Hibbs from Columbus, Ohio who broke the record at 74 hours and 54 minutes between October 22, through 25, 2009.

Most hula hoops twirled at once

The record for the most hoops twirled simultaneously is 132, set by Paul “Dizzy Hips” Blair on November 11, 2009.The previous record was 107, set by Alesya Gulevich of Belarus, on June 15, 2009.

Hoop running

Records for running while twirling a hula hoop around the waist are:

• 100 m: 13.84 seconds, by Roman Schedler of Austria on 16 July 1994
• 1 mile: 6:40, by Kris Slomin of United States on 20 October 2008
• 10 km, men: 1:06:35, by Paul “Dizzy Hips” Blair, date unknown
• 10 km, women: 1:27:25, by Boo Crystal Chan of Australia, 12 March 2009

I find it tough to run a mile in 6:40, and Kris Slomin ran one that fast while hula hooping. Amazing!!!

Here are some pictures of the hula hoop action at Northside.
