ROS Gymnastics Unit

Dear Parents We have started our gymnastics unit in our regularly scheduled Physical Education classes. This unit will run until the end of January. Safety procedures are being carefully covered with each class. While students in elementary school are not expected to change their clothing for gym, I do talk to them about being dressed in preparation to participate. Please consider the following when sending your child to school: • Clothing that allows freedom of movement (no special uniforms or outfits are required – sweats and a t-shirt work best). • Loose fitting/baggy clothing may get caught on equipment when climbing. • Tucking shirts in may help to prevent an accident. • All jewelry that could get caught on equipment should be removed (left in classrooms or left at home). e.g. watches, rings, necklaces, etc... • Students with long hair should have their hair tied back.

September 1, 2017 Dear Parents and Students, I am so excited for the new school year to begin. For those of you that I have not met yet, I am the Physical Education teacher at Royal Oak School. I am very passionate about physical activity and sport and I can’t wait to see all of you in the gym. We are going to get moving and have a massive amount of fun this year. This summer was full of adventures with my friends and family. I had an amazing time travelling to New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island with my three children. We spent a lot of time at the beach exploring, camping and boating. Some of my other favorite things to do in the summer include mountain biking, hiking, paddle boarding and running. I love being outside and being active with my kids. I am looking forward to meeting all of you next week. Have a fantastic long weekend and we’ll see you on Tuesday! Sincerely, Ms. Hennick
