What are we learning in PE?

Foundation to Grade 2

Students in F-2 have continued to work on their Locomotor Fundamental Movement Skills. These are the skills required to move their body effectively around a space including running, jumping, leaping and hopping. Students have had a chance to practice these skills in isolation and through a range of different minor games. Going into term two students will move on to object control skills including throwing, catching, passing and bouncing.

Grade 3 to 6

Students in 3-6 have continued working on their Athletics skills in preparation for the Athletics Day coming up next week! Students started the term on throwing events including the Shot-Put and Discus and have spent the last few weeks working on jumping events. These include the Long Jump, Triple Jump and High Jump. In term two students will move onto invasion sports, which are any sport that involves scoring goals such as Soccer, Basketball, Netball and AFL.
