Physical Education

This week our lower junior students have been focusing on throwing, catching and movement with an emphasis on circuit training, as well as other fun physical activity games. The main focus is on introducing students to movement patterns, such as weaving, hopping using alternate feet and explosive actions through bending their body in order to touch specifically placed cones on the ground set wide apart.

For our Upper juniors through to the Senior School, our students have been introduced to a new game called "Treasure Island".

This is a game where the class is divided into two teams, with both teams starting at their end with 4 cones (treasure). The object is to steal the other team's treasure. What makes this game fun and exciting is that anyone from any team can decide to either attack or defend on their own, or with a partner or two from their own team, all whilst not being tagged. The team that captures all the cones is the winning team.

BEFORE SCHOOL BASKETBALL TRAINING FOR OUR FRIDAY MORNING SENIOR TEAMS

For any senior students involved in Friday morning Senior School Basketball.

Coaching has begun this week, on both Monday and Wednesday morning 8.45. This is optional, however it would be fantastic if all members of any of the fours teams could come along and improve their basketball skills both for themselves and for their Friday morning team.

FRIDAY WEEKLY INTERSCHOOL SPORTS BASKETBALL SCORES

Naranga 1 played well scoring 26 against Emerson 1 who scored 43.

Congratulations kids, fantastic effort from last week to make it into the State finals.

Training will recommence in the lead up to the event run by myself at lunchtime on  Tuesday's and Thursday's beginning early June.  This gives us close to a month of training.

This week the weather has somehow been very kind to us, with all classes enjoying a sunny PE lesson. Please remember kids to wear your Naranga jumper as the weather is getting cooler now.
