What's Up in Gym Class by Mason

Gym at Knollwood is really fun but it is also extremely different from other classes because you use your body and you get to run.

At gym, the gym teacher, Mr. Lydon, knows a lot of fun games, and even if it's an ordinary game like tag, he knows a really fun way to play it. One of the best games is Capture the Flag, which is the first game we learned.

How you play Capture the Flag is there are two teams and two sides. When the game starts, you try to run or you can try to tag people who are on your side but on the other team. If you run, you have to try to grab a "flag" which could be anything to represent it. If you grab a flag from the box, you are safe, but when you leave the box, you have to run to your side. If you get tagged, you have to go to jail.

When you go to jail, you have to wait for someone on your team to rescue you by running across to the jail without getting tagged.

Gym, in my opinion, is the best subject because you get to run around and have a lot of fun.

Gym at Knollwood School by Caroline

Running, throwing, catching...they're all part of one special: Gym. At Gym currently, we are in our basketball unit. In this unit we are dribbling, passing, shooting, and hustling.

If it is a very nice day out, we might go outside and play Capture the Flag. It's when there are two sides of the field and each side has a jail and a ball box. Everyone starts with four balls. To win you need to have all eight balls in your ball box.

Gym is really exciting. We go to it every Tuesday from 2:00 to 3:00.
