The Virtual Olympics starts today, Monday, May 25^th.  To participate see the link on King Street Elementary webpage ( http://kse.nbed.nb.ca ) or the Anglophone School District – North website.

Have fun competing in this activity!  When spending time outdoors, remember to wear sunscreen!  I would love to see pictures! 

The ASD-N Virtual Olympics will take place over 10 days, May 25-29 and June 1-5. Each day will consist of 3 activities. The Virtual Olympics are open to any ASD-N students and their family members. Events can be done as many times as desired, just take the best result. Results of events can be recorded on the scorecard that will be provided and can then be submitted via a Microsoft form at the end of each of the two weeks.

 There will be a package emailed to anyone that registers at the beginning of both weeks. There will be a video and activity card for each day to outline the 3 events and any other information needed. The video and activity cards for each day will be posted on the ASD-N website and will be emailed to anyone that has registered also.

Families will need to gather any equipment that is required. Most of the equipment needed can be found around the house or yard. An equipment list will be provided prior to the event taking place.

 Schools are encouraged to upload any pictures or videos to their school website that students submit. Teachers, parents, and students are all encouraged to post any pictures or videos to social media using the #asdnvirtualolympics  

 Certificates will be provided for any students that take part and would like to have one to celebrate completing all the events.

Next week (May 4^th) we will be starting our skipping unit as part of our Home Learning experience. The school has a limited number of ropes for those students who may need one. If your child requires a rope, please let us know when you come to pick up their belongings next week. Rope are limited to one per family. Thank you for your understanding.

This week we have included a few different activities for you to try.  The goal for each day is for a minimum of 30 minutes of physical activity.  Remember that these minutes can be spread out throughout the day or done all at once.  Also feel free to change the order of any activity and if there is something you really like, do it as many times as you want and as always we love it when you come up with your own activity.  

Here are some extra activities to try this week: 

Monday – Indoor/outdoor Bowling 

Make your own bowling game using old plastic bottles (6 or 10 works well). If you play outside, add a little water to each bottle to help keep them standing. Make a starting line using sidewalk chalk or masking tape, grab a ball and have some fun. Challenge someone in your family and yourself by adding more bottles or moving the starting like back.  

Variation for outside:  try kicking a ball at the pins

Tuesday - Connor McDavids 15 minute workout 

The workout is made up of four different activities that you do four times: 

1.       10 squats (for a total of 40) 

2.       A 45 second wall sit (done 4 times) 

3.       10 push ups (for a total of 40). Possible variation: K-2 – hold a plank for 10 seconds, 3-5 – 5 push ups (for a total of 20) 

4.       A 30 second squat and hold for each leg (for a total of 8)

Wednesday - Go for a walk or jog with your family and try to find all the following items in any order: 

1.       A bicycle  

2.       Someone walking 

3.       A birdfeeder 

4.       A house with Christmas lights still up 

5.       A basketball or hockey net 

6.       An odd numbered house 

7.       A swing set  

8.       A dog or cat 

9.       A STOP sign 

10.   A piece of sports equipment (i.e. soccer ball, hockey stick, etc.)

Thursday – Make your own obstacle course.   

This can be done inside or outside (I made my children do this OUTSIDE). Use items that you can run around, go over/under. Time yourself and challenge someone in your family to beat your time.

Friday – Fitness Friday 

It’s Fitness Friday, or better known as Running Day!  Run outside without stopping (it’s OK to walk) for 5 minutes and 15 seconds. Have a 4 minute warmup before starting your run. 

OR 

Run or dance on the spot inside for 5 minutes and 15 seconds. Play your favorite music just like we would if we were in the gym. Have a 4 minute warmup before starting your activity.

Each day you can choose your workout! Pick ONE of the daily exercises or choose an exercise of your own to do. It’s also OK to change the order of the activities. See how many you can complete between now and next weeks’ post.

HAVE FUN and STAY ACTIVE!
