On the Sidelines

What a great term we are having so far in the areas of Phys Ed and Sport!

Phys Ed update

Our Phys Ed curriculum this term has seen all students at the Heights taking part in a multi-age Gymnastics program. In this program we have experienced activities that involved spring and landings, balance, locomotion, rotations and fitness. Students have displayed our school values by collaborating in small groups to complete the activities.  We loved to see students focus on their learning by demonstrating perseverance and respect. Well done everyone, it was a really enjoyable unit to kick start the term!

Moving forwards the students will be focusing on the following units:

Foundation- PMP and Overhand Throw

Year 1 and 2- Striking skills: Forehand and Two Hand Strike

Year 3- Forehand Strike in minor games

Year 4- Introduction to Net and Wall Games

Year 5 and 6- Developing and applying our skills in Net and Wall games

Bundoora District Cricket Tournament

On Monday October 20, the PE team took 16 students to the annual BDSSA Cricket Tournament. It was a great day and although a bit wet we didn't let this dampen our spirits. The students strived for excellence with teamwork and perseverance at an all time high. Both teams played 4 games on the day with the boys winning 2 and girls undefeated. Well done to the girls cricket team, they will progress to the Whittlesea Division Cricket Tournament this Friday October 31. Good luck!
