Physical Education

This week our lower junior students have been focusing on throwing, catching and movement in fun physical activity games. An activity that our junior kids really enjoy and develops these primary PE skills is dodgeball. These primary skills are regularly taught as theses are our kids will use these in the majority of games/sports that they will come across either at school, or outside of school playing organised sports, such as basketball, football, netball, cricket, soccer and any other sports.

For our Upper juniors through to the Senior School, our students have continued participating in 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.

After three lessons of this, this game has quickly become one of the most popular games going around Naranga at the moment. The students really enjoy this activity with everybody joining in.

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

Winter  is firmly here now, and outside it can be quite cold. Please make sure your child has a jumper with them to allow them to be more comfortable when participating in their weekly PE class.
