These few weeks this is what we did for PE lessons.

We focus on games involving fundamental movement skills (agility, balance, body control and listening and doing). Additionally, students develop spacial awareness, locomotor skills, manipulative skills, hand-eye coordination when engaging in toy hunting game, pick up object game,  catch and throw game, and musical chair game.

Hello  EY2 parents and students

Happy to welcome EY2 students to KIS and nice to see familiar faces on screen once again. I hope you enjoying learning with Mr. Max.

Throughout the year, students will learn various movement skills working on exercises, engaging in ball games, basic gymnastics, athletics, and fun games. All these activities help create a healthy active lifestyle and overall well being for the students.

Mr. Max has enjoyed teaching the little ones and happy to see developments in every child physically and socially with active participation both at school and throughout the remote learning although it will be more fulfilling when we can see each other in person.

Thank you to all my students for being great learners and thank you to Parents for the great support with the remote learning.

See you all soon on screen!
