Upcoming Sports
10th October Division Softball
Division Athletics
Well done to all of our Division Athletics Athletes! You all did an amazing job in representing our school! Congratulations to the students who have made it through to the next round.
Prep
The Preps have been hard at work refining and practicing their overhand throws at a high target. The throwing technique as usual except for the students are now aiming higher to allow for flight and drop. For overhand throwing students start in skateboard stance, they hold their ball with bunny ears grip. Following this step, the students then point to aim and throw following through with their hand to make it two to make sure. The Preps were able to use their technique in a game of clean the yard where they threw “rubbish” (dodgeballs) over the fence (badminton net) to keep their yard clean. Set your Prep a challenge, how many high catches can they make in a minute, how accurate can they throw. Set up a target and have them move further and further away after every time they hit it.
Grade 1 and Grade 2
The Grade 1s have been focussing on their overhand throw They have been improving their throwing technique by practicing throwing at high targets. The students were able to practice these skills in games of clean the yard where students needed to throw high to clean their side of the field.
The Grade 2s have been putting their skills to work in different games and exercises. They have been playing games of Skittles where they have to knock down bowling pins on the other side of their court and another game called clean the yard in which they need to throw as many balls as possible onto their opponents' side of the net.
Grades 3 and 4
Grades 3 and 4 have finished their fitness unit and have done a great job! We finished our unit with our second Cooper Run which showed if the students had made improvement with their fitness. Students have been able to track and monitor all of their results using a tracker. All of the exercises we have been completing can be completed at home with different household items such as used milk bottles washed and filled with water to create a 3kg weight. We recommend using up to 4kgs as a max for grades 3 to 4.
The exercises we used were Squats, Sit-ups, Medicine ball press, Kettle Bell bicep curl, Tuck jumps, Zig zag jumps, Push ups, Forward Rolls, Mountain Climbers, Medicine ball slams, Skipping, Agility ladders, Shuttle runs, Plank, Agility poles and star jumps.
The Cooper Run is a 12-minute run around a 20 by 20 track. The aim is to run as many laps as you can in the set time period.
