Foundation to Grade 2

For Term 2 students have been focusing on object control skills that they can use with their hands. They have recently completed their work on the overarm and underarm Throw. They will now be moving on to learning about skills that can be used in sports like Netball, Basketball and Handball. This includes the chest, bounce and overhead pass, along with bouncing/dribbling a basketball.

Grade 3 to 6

The focus in Term 2 has been on Invasion Sports which are any sport that involves attacking and defending, with the objective of scoring goals against the other team. Students have recently finished learning about Netball and will now be moving on to learning about Australian Rules Football (AFL).
