Rock Climbing

We are off and climbing in PE at Maple Avenue. During this unit, the students will learn some basic rock climbing skills that can be used to practice this great physical activity properly. Rock climbing is a great activity to get children involved in, even if they are the non-competitive type! This nontraditional activity allows people to push themselves at their own pace and not be reliant on a team or feel the pressure from others to perform well. The students have a great time during this unit, especially when we get into some of the challenges like "eagle's nest", or "the electric fence".
