Physical Education 

Grade Prep

In P.E., our Preps have been developing their two-handed striking skills through fun and engaging striking and fielding games. Students have been learning how to position their bodies correctly to strike, hit a ball off a tee using two hands, and understand how bases work, including when to stop and wait at a base. They have also been practising their fielding skills by learning how to watch and collect the ball, return it to the tee and get ready for the next player. Through these activities, students have been building their hand-eye coordination, movement skills and understanding of simple game rules while having lots of fun being active!

Grade One and Two

In P.E., our Grade 1 and 2 students have been developing their two-handed striking and fielding skills through a range of fun and engaging games. Students have been practising their striking technique, hitting the ball off a tee and learning how to run safely between bases, including when to stop and wait at a base. They have also been developing their fielding skills by learning how to position themselves in different fielding formations and working together as a team to stop and return the ball. Through these activities, students have been building their hand-eye coordination, teamwork, movement skills and understanding of the rules and strategies used in striking and fielding games.

Grade Three and Four

In P.E., our Grade 3 and 4 students have been developing their volleyball skills through a range of fun and challenging activities. Students have been learning and practising key skills including underarm serving, setting and digging, while developing their ability to control and move the ball with increasing accuracy. They have also been applying these skills in modified games of volleyball, learning how to work together as a team and make decisions during game play. Students have been introduced to volleyball rotations and have been practising where to stand, when to rotate and how to move into the correct position during a game. It has been fantastic to see students building their confidence, teamwork and understanding of volleyball throughout the unit!

Grade Five and Six

In P.E., our Grade 5 and 6 students have been developing their volleyball skills through a combination of skill-based activities and modified volleyball games. Students have been practising key skills including underarm serving, setting and digging, while focusing on moving towards the ball and positioning themselves effectively during game play. They have been spending more time applying these skills in games, developing their ability to communicate, work together as a team and make decisions during rallies. Students have also been learning where to stand on the court, how to rotate and how to move into position to support their teammates. It has been great to see students building their confidence, teamwork and game awareness throughout the unit.
