Physical Education Term 2 Newsletter

Health and PE Specialist Teacher - Mrs Rebecca Robinson

Welcome to Term 2

It has been an exciting start to term 2 with F-2 cross country as well as the grade 3-6 District cross country. We also received a delivery of new PE equipment. The classes have been enthusiastically playing soccer games this term and as always look forward to the many, exciting games we play during PE. Athletic training and preparation will begin later this term ready for our grade 3-6 House Athletic Carnival in Term 3.

Parent Helpers

For sporting events, it is often necessary for the support of parent/carer helpers for events to run safely and smoothly. Volunteers are often needed to supervise teams, help with scoring, walking to various venues and helping out at activities. We have many carnivals such as cross country, athletics and swimming. All of these events and the many more that are provided to your children will often need parent support. Please consider helping whenever you can, even if it is only for a short time. Thank you. :)

When helping with the children at CEPS, it is required that you wear a Working with Children’s Check (WWCC) displayed on a lanyard at all times. 

If you have not got a WWCC and wish to volunteer, application forms can be found online at: www.workingwithchildren.vic.gov.au

Remember to sign in each day you volunteer at CEPS via the computer at the office. This is a mandatory requirement. You will also be required to sign out. 

Teaching and Learning

During PE, students are active in moderate to vigorous activity during running and tagging games and skills. They learn fundamental movement skills that enable them to participate in a number of sports as well as learning many social and emotional skills. This term, students will practice kicking skills, running, dodging and ball skills. They will perform under and overarm throws. They will prepare for athletics by training in each event. The students learn rules, follow instructions and work together as part of a team. The students have fun while running around and becoming more confident in their capabilities and sporting prowess. Students continually learn to negotiate and discuss rules with each other and play fairly in games.
