 Prep–Grade 2: Athletics Wrap-Up and Gymnastics Fun!

Our Prep–Grade 2 students had a fantastic time at Athletics Day, and it was a huge success! Students enjoyed participating in a range of events, including high jump, relays, sprints, long jump, hop, skip, jump, run, and cricket ball throw. It was wonderful to see everyone giving their best, trying new challenges and cheering each other on!

Now, we are moving into an exciting new unit focused on gymnastics and fundamental movement skills. Students will explore animal walks, practise balancing on lines and mats, create different body shapes, and develop their coordination through fun obstacle courses and movement challenges.

As the unit progresses, students will also begin exploring basic tumbling skills, including forward rolls, before combining their balances and movements into simple sequences and routines. Throughout the unit, we will focus on body control, stability, safe movement and teamwork.

Grades 3–6: Invasion Games

Our Grade 3–6 students are finishing the term with an exciting unit focused on invasion games! Students will develop their teamwork, strategy and movement skills through games such as Capture the Flag and Lacrosse.

As we approach the end of the year, students will also have opportunities to explore and play other invasion games of their choice, helping us finish our Sport program on a fun, active and engaging note!
