Qatar Stars League (QSL) led a fun day of activities for pupils of Pre-school 5 and Grade levels 1-5.

This year, 2014-2015, the winners of the Sports Day are the Stingrays! Thank you for everyone involved! It was so much fun!

The second season of our activity started right before the break.

‘Fit’n’Wit Kidz’ is a program designed and planned as an entertaining activity focusing to offer a better understanding of living a healthy lifestyle by students and parents. ‘Fit’n’Wit Kidz’ is an activity where we practice basic movement skills and co-operative games with a high dose of fun.

In this clip we highlight some of the best learning experience from this activity, in Term 1.

Enjoy!

Tomorrow the entire school will celebrate the Sports Day. Students, parents, and teachers will enjoy a day filled with athletic events, fun games and surprises.

Schedule:

9.00 – 9.30 Pre 3 and Pre 4 in the Gym

10.00 – 11.30 Pre 5 to Grade 3, Outdoor Courts

12.00 – 15.00 Grades 4-8, Outdoor Courts

Last week the Spanish handball team visited us in the gym while touring the school. Spain is the current world champion in handball, and they are defending their title this year in Doha. Without having a handball background, Sofia, Faisal, and Omar (Pre 4 students) easily managed to score several times in the goal defended by the Spanish goalkeeper Gonzalo Pérez. The Lady Birds, coached by Mr. Mihai Catrinar and Ms. Dalila Rodrigues, are looking forward to the next opponent, if possible a more challenging one. As you can easily see in these pictures, the difference of height didn’t impress the young team of Lady Birds!

Thanks to all the players who spent their free time to come and inspire our students! We wish them good luck at this World Championship!

Grade Level: Pre 4, Pre 5, Grade 1, Grade 3

We feel inspired about the students’ creativity during the stand-alone unit of Individual Pursuits. “Mastering basic movement skills ensures body development and conditions performance” is the central idea of this unit. In this unit we’ll build the inquiry and the students’ understanding using the following concepts: “Development”, “Performance”, and “Patterns”.

Fit’n’Wit is a program designed and planned as an entertaining activity focusing to offer a better understanding of living a healthy lifestyle by students, parents and teachers. During this activity we enjoy practicing basic movement skills and co-operative games with a high dose of fun.

At SEK Qatar, more than 70 students participated in this activity this year. They have learned new skills and they enjoyed sessions loaded with fun games. A weekly newsletter kept students and parents informed about healthy options in their lifestyle. The parents had the chance to join their children during one of the sessions that ended up with a healthy snack for all.

Special thanks to Manuel Romão, an enthusiastic and dedicated parent, who put a considerable effort into making this exceptional movie.

Enjoy the summer and stay fit!
