There are a few skills we trying to hone in Burrowing Owls:
-the rules of 10-pass, which is morphing into football without the Owls noticing!
-wrestling, and using smart moves instead of just force
-observation and noticing details
The observation skills were developed with a game called Eye Spy; items are hidden in a roped off area (for example, a band aid and a pen) and they must go into the circle to find it. Your Owl can set this up at home for you!
Ask your child:
why did they have to use a poker face?
do they think they got better at the game as it progressed?
This class seems to love physical activity; with Bryce joining us today, she introduced us to some gymnastic moves on the fire hose. Thank you for being such a great coach, Bryce!
Ask your child:
what 'level' in the spin did you get to (from getting on the rope to spinning multiple times)
can you think of a game, or a move, that would work on the hose?
We also asked them what they hoped we would do in Forest School. Here are some of their ideas:
-fire making with food!
-skating
-knots
-survival activities
-hiking
-animal game
-gymnastics
-acting
-music
We love the energy of this class!
