Physical Education
Prep
Students in Prep have been participating in physical activities that have helped them understand how their bodies move and how different factors influence movement. It has been wonderful having students express the things that they have enjoyed about participating in Physical Education. We look forward to introducing students to the fundamental motor skill of throwing as of next week.
Grade 1 & 2
Students in Grade 1 & 2 have been exploring different types of movement sequences through AcroSports. They have been using their bodies to perform movement under, over, through and between objects. Students loved working in small groups to balance on different parts of their bodies and make different shapes. As of next week, students will be developing their fundamental motor skill of striking using their forearm and two-handed strikes.
Grade 3 & 4
Students in Grade 3 & 4 have been focusing on the basic skills and rules for T-Ball. Through engaging activities, students have been practising and refining their striking and fielding skills in modified game situations. It has been great to see the students build confidence in their two-hand strike and develop their teamwork skills when fielding to get the opposition players out.
Grade 5 & 6
Students in Grade 5 & 6 have been focusing on the striking and fielding skills required for Cricket. They engaged in modified cricket games to develop and refine their understanding of the rules of the sport.
