8th Grade
General Course
Overview & Quarter 1 Update
During quarter one all of our 8th Grade PE
students completed the first component of our grade 8 Heath Education program,
(‘Substance Misuse & Abuse Prevention’). Each student also completed a
series of fitness and biometric tests. Prior to the Christmas break students
will analyze their fitness data, graph it against age appropriate norms and use
the results to select some personal fitness goals for the remainder of the
year. Other curriculum areas covered by all students during quarter one
included the first component of our grade 8 ‘sports unit’ (Field-Hockey).
As we move into quarter two and beyond each class will
engage in the same activities but at different times during the course of the
year. Please have your child walk you through the information on their
‘MyDragonNet’ ‘PE&Health’ page so you can view the program schedule, unit
materials and assessment criteria as rubrics or exemplar videos.
If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact
me via email.
Kind regards,
