Dear students and family members,
The Physical Education teachers at King St. Elementary will be posting a variety of games/activities on a weekly basis, to help you stay physically active while schools are closed. You can access these games/activities by going to Mr. Williston’s and Mr. Noel’s teacher page located on the King St. website.
We recommend a minimum of 30 mins of physical activity a day. This can be completed in one session or broken down into mini (10-15 mins) sessions.
We will be using many different resources including: Youtube, OPENPhysEd.org, BOKS Canada, etc. to provide you with activities that can be completed at home with little or no equipment and limited space. Please remember that not all activities have to be completed and you and your family can come up with your own ways to be active.
Please check with an adult before starting any activity and follow the social distancing rules.
As teachers and parents, ourselves, we understand that this is new for everyone. We are here to support you. If you have any questions or concerns, you can contact us at the following addresses:
Thank You,
Mr. Williston
Mr. Noel

Did you know that whole grain bread (the brown kind) is the best choice to eat for your health? Whole grains are the seed kernels from cereal plants.
Whole grains have three parts: 1. The endosperm 2. The bran 3. The germ. If you eat the whole grain, you are eating all three parts and getting all the vitamins, minerals and fiber from the grain.
White flour is used to make white bread and has had the bran and germ removed from the grain (not a good idea). When we eat whole grains, our body gets lots of energy (called carbohydrates) that will last for a long time.
Try this quiz and see what you remember.
1. Is a whole grain a seed kernel or plant root?
2. How many parts in a whole grain?
3. What is the best type of bread to eat?
4. Why do we need to eat whole grains?
5. The energy we get from eating whole grains only lasts a short time. True or False

Did you know that vegetables are loaded with nutrients and are full of the vitamins, minerals and fiber we need to be healthy?
There are 5 different types of vegetables (I didn’t know that until now).
Type 1: Dark green vegetables – Example: broccoli, kale
Type 2: Starchy vegetables – Example: potatoes, corn
Type 3: Red and orange vegetables – Example: carrots, pumpkins
Type 4: Beans and peas – Example: black beans, kidney beans
Type 5: All other vegetables – Example: lettuce, onions
Try to eat vegetables from each group as much as possible and remember that lots of them don’t even need to be cooked before you eat them.
Fresh vegetables are a healthy choice, but not always available, so try frozen ones because they are still loaded with all the nutrients we need.
Try this quiz and see what you remember.
1. How many types of vegetables did you read about?
2. Blue and green vegetables are one of the types listed. True or False
3. Vegetables only have fiber in them. True or False
4. Only fresh vegetables are good to eat. True or False
5. List the vegetables you can eat raw.
