Welcome back to a new school year. I hope you have all enjoyed a well deserved break. Last year we continued to progress in the PE Department and I wish to continue our progression this year. This included the use of the Gymnasium, sporting events, new equipment and even more organised competitions. This year I aim to create more organised competitions against other schools while even trying to invite schools to some of our events. I am also very proud to welcome Mr Phil to the PE team. Mr Phil hails from England and is not only a professionally trained teacher but also a personal trainer. He will no doubt be a great asset to the school. If you require information about what goes in the P.E lessons or what students need in order to participate effectively then please check this blog. Students from year 1 - 5 will also have work / photos shown on their see saw while MYP will predominantly use Managebac to stay updated. If you still require additional email then feel free to send me or Mr Phil an email and we will do our best to reply promptly. I very much look forward to having an active year with your child at Asker International School.

Kind Regards

Mr Andrew, Mr Phil

What does your child need for PE lessons?

White soled shoes (nearly all new running shoes are white soled.) This is to make sure it doesn't mark the gymnasium floor. It is essential that students have different sport shoes for inside / outside as we don't want mud being brought into the school.

Shorts / tights / shirts / tracksuit pants that allow easy movement.

No jeans / dresses / skirts

No jewellery

Raincoat / Wellingtons (We do live in Norway)

If a child continues to wear inappropriate clothing then they will be unable to participate and an email will be sent to the parents.

Use of the Gymnasium

Every child in the school will have a 90 minute lesson each week. That day will be their PE day for the entire school year. I encourage all children to wear their P.E clothes to school that day as it saves them having to change which takes up part of their lesson.

As we have to share the Gymnasium with another school there is therefore a limited amount of slots available. Unfortunately, this year 1,2,3 and 4 will not be using the gymnasium during their P.E lessons. However, since the school underneath us will not move in until later in the year then that means at the moment all students have access to the Gymnasium. In regards to later in the year slots are available throughout the week if a teacher in the early years wishes to take them to the Gymnasium. Students in grades 1,2,3 and 4 have a new indoor room which is much larger then previous years to perform activities inside while we also have access to the local Football field and forest. Special events have also been organised for year 1,2,3 and 4 throughout the year to compensate such as Under 8's day, Forest trips, Swimming and Sports Days
