Physical Education

The Year 1, 2, 5 and 6 students have started the year focusing on skills used in the sport of soccer. We definitely have some superstars here at St Mel's. While we have been focusing on controlling the ball with our feet, we have also been working on working with a partner, small group or a team.

The Foundation students have had two short physical education sessions on the last two Tuesday afternoons. In these sessions we have focused on fundamental movement skills of running, jumping, throwing, kicking and balancing. Kim is looking forward to having them join us for Wednesday Physical Education sessions when rest days are over.

St Mel's was successful in gaining Sporting Schools funding again for this term. The second half of the term will have the Foundation, Year 1 and 2 students focusing on skills used in gymnastics. The Year 5 and 6 students will now focus on the skills needed for teeball (baseball).
