Foundation: The Foundation students have had a fun-filled start to the year in PE. Through a range of engaging physical activities, the students have been learning to follow instructions and use the equipment safely.

Grade 1 & 2: We were very proud of the students' efforts in our ‘interacting with others positively’ unit. Throughout this unit, students demonstrated positive ways to interact with others fairly and safely. We have also commenced our fundamental movement skills unit of ball bounce, where students have been learning the correct techniques for bouncing basketballs.

We have also had a fun-filled start to our Athletics unit where students have had the opportunity to learn the correct techniques when using a shot put and discus. We are so excited to learn the correct techniques for a crouch start, hurdles and high jump over the coming weeks.

Students also have begun their Athletics unit where students have had the opportunity to learn the correct techniques when using a shot put and discus.
