PE & Sport 

Physical Education 

We had wonderful first term in Physical Education and Sport. Our Foundation students enjoyed exploring the school and learning to work in pairs and small groups to complete a range of movement challenges in both Physical Education and PMP.

Our Year 1 and 2 students were enthusiastic participants in a range of fundamental movement skills and learnt some new tag style games that involved team work and cooperation. 

The Year 3-4 students played a range of small sided and modified games to improve their game sense while continuing to develop their fundamental movement skills in a variety of sports including Tee Ball, Basketball and Soccer. 

Our Senior students continued to improve their teamwork and understanding of invasion based games in Term 1. Participating in two units of work focused around skill acquisition and game play in Netball and Soccer. Year 5-6 students also continued to develop throwing, catching and striking skills in our Softball unit. 

Foundation:

This term, Foundation students will learn and develop their fundamental movement skills. We will complete a range of activities to improve throwing, catching, passing, dribbling and kicking skills. While playing some basic tag games to improve their spatial awareness. 

Years 1 & 2

During Term 2, Year 1 and 2 students will participate in games and activities that develop hand eye coordination, specifically we will focus on striking and dribbling activities. Students will also play some small sided and modified games to improve teamwork and cooperation skills.  

Years 3 & 4 

Students in Year 3 and 4 will continue to explore invasion style games. Students will first develop their skills in isolation before implementing them into small sided game play in both a Netball and Hockey unit. Students will also explore striking and fielding game play through a short unit on Kickball, incorporating fundamental movement skills such as rolling, kicking, catching and throwing into a fast paced and fun game. 

Years 5 & 6 

During Term 2, Year 5 and 6 students will participate in three units of invasion style games. Students will refine their skills during our Basketball unit while showcasing their understanding of offensive and defensive tactics during game play. Later in the term, students will participate in game play in both hockey and flag football. These games are less familiar and will require students to transfer skills from other sports into these new games to experience success. 

Inter-School Sport

Our Year 5 and 6 students kicked off our Interschool Sport season a few weeks ago. Students are assigned to one of four sports and play a round of grading games before participating in a Lightening Premiership at the end of the term. Sports for Winter include AFL, Netball, Soccer and Softball. Good luck to all students participating in Term 2. 

Have a great term!
