It has been a very busy journey through April so far in Physical Education. Our students have been busy with new experiences in Swimming, Tennis and Taekwondo. The PE department are making a great effort to provide our students with a broad range of exposure to different sports to tie in with our school mission of Global Interconnection.
Ma'am Kelley Choi has generously developed a 3 lesson program for each of our 1st to 4th grade classes so that they can learn the Korean sport of Taekwondo. 3rd grade still await their first scheduled class which will take place soon!
Enjoy the pictures and we will see you in May!
