Building Physical Literacy Within Our School
A couple of keen and eager students came into the gym one afternoon as I was setting up for our Gymnastic Club eager to offer their assistance and organization with anything in the gym! Wouldn’t you know that the last couple of weeks I was contemplating what to offer my Grade One students during their noon hour activity time. I loved the idea of allowing them the time to engage, practice, and perform their fundamental movement skills in a fun way. And what better way than by having other students prepare and assist others to be physically literate. With some creativity these two PALS (Physical Activity Leadership Students) took on the creative process of organizing our Physical Literacy Activity Club!
I see our leadership students not only engaged in physical activity but get so excited about generating new ideas and sharing their creativity to assist others in our school all the while continuing on their own journeys to being physically literate! From our Me to WE Warm Up Dancers for our Terry Fox Run, to our Equipment Managers that help with organizing our P.E. Equipment, to our PALS in Gymnastics Club for our Division One students to our PALS with our new Physical Literacy Activity Club, they have become more than PALS to me. As they share their expertise with others in our school, they are on their own journey of becoming Physically Active Literacy Students.
