On the Sidelines

Welcome back to another great term in Phys Ed and Sport!

What’s happening in the Phys Ed space this term:

We have had a great start to the term with the launch of our whole school multi year level gymnastics unit. All year levels have been doing gymnastics with a particular focus on balance, spring and landings, rotations, strength and locomotion. There really has been a buzz in PE and the students have shown great perseverance and a growth mindset.

Following this gymnastics unit we will be covering the following units:

Foundation-PMP, Overhand Throw, Forehand strike

Year 1 and 2- Forehand and Two Hand Strike and Minor Games

Year 3- Forehand Strike and Game Sense Introduction
