Sport & PE

In PE this term, Prep to Year 3 students will be working with Kathryn develop their fundamental movement skills like running, jumping and throwing and teamwork skills. This week we played 'rob the nest'. Our 2/3 group practiced throwing the discus. 

The Year 4 to 6 students are working on their PE skills with Dave on Monday afternoons. Their PE classes have been focusing on developing a variety of athletics skills. Last Monday, we learnt to throw a discus. The trickiest part was getting the discus to spin correctly out of our hand so that it could fly smoothly through the air.

Lunchtime Olympics

Two of our year 3 students, Banjo and Finn, have been eagerly watching the Winter Olympics cheering on our Aussie team.  They have both been inspired and taken the initiative to start a lunchtime activity club inspired by our winter Olympians.  They have thought of some winter Olympic disciplines and tried to adapt them into our current summer days.  For their first event day, Banjo and Finn had a lot of students attend and run their Olympic standard course.  We look forward to seeing what event pops up next week.
