Health and Physical Education 

Foundation

This fortnight, in Physical Education, Foundation students were introduced to Health and Physical Education and learned about the gym space, including out-of-bounds areas and what the whistle means (freeze!). Students participated in fun activities that focused on responding quickly to the whistle and showing how fast they can move safely in the gym.

Year 1 & Year 2

This fortnight, in Physical Education, Year 1 and 2 students were introduced to Health and Physical Education and revisited the rules and expectations for working safely in the gym. Students practised how to freeze on the whistle, identified out-of-bounds areas, and discussed procedures to follow in the event of an emergency in the gym. Our students showcased their knowledge and skills of taking turns, sharing, and being kind to one another. Focusing on fundamental motor skills such as, running, jumping, throwing and catching.

Year 3–

This fortnight, in Physical Education, Year 3–6 students were introduced to Health and Physical Education through a focus on gym rules, expectations, and emergency procedures. Students also began their Athletics unit by learning about Athletics Day, discussing how the day will run, and practising key skills for triple jump and shot put. For triple jump, students broke down the hop, step, and jump before combining the skills, while shot put was practised using soft indoor equipment to ensure safety in the gym.

Pedro 5B: “It’s good to learn Athletics, someone could go to the olympics and I really enjoy long jump and shot put.”
