Develop a love for movement
Physical Education in Term 2
Foundation to Year 2 students experienced the following:
- Fundamental Movement Skill of Catching
- Fundamental Movement Skills of Throwing (Underarm and Overarm)
- Fundamental Movement Skill of Drop Kick (connection to AFL)
Level 3 to 6 students enhanced their learning through the following units:
- Track and Field
- Target Games
Olympic Day (last day of Term)
Our active recreation activities (in line with our Physical literacy project) have had high levels of participation already this term. 65 students experienced throwing foam javelins during Monday's recess session. Looks like we need to invest in more foam javelins so we have less lines and students waiting for a go.
Funding news!
A further $30,000 towards Physical Activity
At the start of the year I applied for some more funding to support movement at Roxburgh Park Primary School. We have been notified that we were successful with our application. Our school has gained $30,000 to support Active Recreation, Active Transport and teacher training. The money will go along way to supporting engaging and quality movement at school.
Active Recreation is session that take place during Physical Education, before school through activations and at lunch time and recess. Active Travel is supporting the growth of our Challenge and Adventure Units through skateboarding, scooters and bicycle education and supporting our students to walk/ride more to school.
