Physical Education News

Dear Parents and Families,

Welcome back to another action-packed PE Newsletter! We have started the term very strongly with all of our students getting straight into their PE groove.

Preps, Grade One and Grade Two

The Preps, Ones, and Twos have just finished their gymnastics unit and have done a fantastic job working on their vestibular system by making sure they invert themselves while they are completing their exercises. They have now moved on to practicing their overhand throws at targets and refining their high catches. When throwing, students follow the process of skateboard stance, bunny ears grip, ball behind my body, once to aim and two to make sure. When performing a high catch, the students follow the process of release, rotate catch.

Grade 3s to 6s

Grade 3’s and 4’s have now started their fitness unit and kicked it off with the Cooper run. Students recorded their results in a chart and will have another attempt at the Cooper Run in week 9. Students are now participating in the circuit aspect of the fitness unit, which focuses on strength and cardio. Each student is competing against themself with the aim of being able to create their own fitness circuit and routines that they can implement at home. Attached below is a table with the approximate standards that provide an idea on where students should be in regard to their fitness depending on their age.
