Physical Education

This week and the last two weeks, all our lower junior students have been focusing on circuit training. The main focus is on introducing students to movement patterns, such as weaving, hopping using alternate feet and explosive actions through bending their body in order to touch specifically placed cones on the ground set wide apart.

Our students have also been introduced to a modified game of ball tag, where the students are given more freedom with the ball, and have to make decisions within the game at a quicker rate.

Our senior school have continued with multisport. This is a game where there are three sports (Soccer, European handball and Basketball) that depending on which ball I place in the middle of the court, the students will then play that sport until a goal is scored.

It is a fun and fast activity where all students will enjoy the variety of activities.

BEFORE SCHOOL BASKETBALL TRAINING FOR OUR FRIDAY MORNING SENIOR TEAMS

For any senior students involved in Friday morning Senior School Basketball.

Coaching will begin next week, on both Monday and Wednesday morning 8.45. This is optional, however it would be fantastic if all members of any of the fours teams could come along and improve their basketball skills both for themselves and for their Friday morning team.

Congratulations kids, fantastic effort from last week to make it into the State finals.

Training will recommence in the lead up to the event run by myself at lunchtime on the Tuesday and Thursday beginning early June.  This gives us close to a month of training.

This week the weather has somehow been very kind to us, with all classes enjoying a sunny PE lesson. Please remember kids to wear your Naranga jumper with you as the weather is getting cooler now.
