Ice skating

Physical Education

• The student has learned the basic techniques of balancing and gliding on ice skates.
• They have developed coordination and body awareness through the movement and control required for ice skating.
• They have improved their physical strength and endurance through the activity of ice skating.
• Participation in ice skating has introduced the student to the concept of sportsmanship and teamwork, as they would interact and coordinate with other skaters.

Encourage the continued development of ice skating skills by introducing the student to more advanced techniques such as crossovers, spins, and jumps. Create fun activities like relay races or small obstacle courses on the ice to further enhance their coordination and control.
