Prep, Grade 1 and Grade 2
The Preps, Grade 1s and Grade 2s have finished their gymnastics units with some very impressive cartwheels. Well done to all of the Preps for completing your first round of Gymnastics. It has been awesome watching all of the students increase their balance by improving their vestibular systems through all of the movements that we have done. They are now moving into high catches and throws. These can be practiced at home using the proper technique. For high catches, the vocab is release rotate, and catch. Students start with one hand above their head, they then release the ball above their head. The final step is to bring the throwing hand to meet the other hand to create a triangle before they catch the ball. For overhand throwing students start in skateboard stance, they hold their ball with bunny ears grip. Following this step the students then point to aim and throw following through with their hand to make it two to make sure.
Grades 3 and 4
Grades 3 and 4 have finished up with target games and are now moving into their fitness unit. We started the week with the Cooper run which is a 12-minute run around an 80m circuit. Students have to run as far as they can for the entire time. Following the run, we will be moving into a fitness circuit for 3 weeks before we attempt the Cooper run again. Students can prepare for the next round of the Cooper Run by going to an oval or a park and running for 12 minutes trying to limit the amount of times they stop to walk.
