Wild Rompus

Every day for the past 3 weeks, the entire school has been doing daily physical activity, or DPA for short. DPA is mandated by the Ministry of Education: each day students are to engage in vigorous physical activity for at least 15 minutes, in order to attain and maintain an acceptable level of physical fitness. I think it's a great idea. And, the students really enjoy it.

We organized a 3 week school wide DPA, with much assistance from our P.E. teacher, Miss M. We used the story Where the Wild Things Are, which is a current movie and a classic children's book. Look on the Parkdale School News web site for some pictures of our activities.
