Waterdown Montessori School

The Elementary teacher runs a physical education programme for her class. The whole class takes part once / week, for an extended period of time, either in the gymnasium or outside. Basic skills are developed, and there is plenty of opportunity for vigorous physical activity and games.

Every fall the children are bused to swimming lessons at McMaster University, and from January to April DashSports comes to the school to introduce children to a wide variety of sports.  A written report is provided on completion of each programme.

Yoga is also incorporated into the physical education program. Ms. Wyn, a qualified yoga instructor, teaches the children during one term.
