Over the past two weeks, students have been engaged in the following units of work:

Grade 1 & 2 – Gymnastics (photos below)

Grade 3 & 4 – Net/Wall games: modified squash, tennis and volleyball games

Grade 5 & 6 – Net/Wall games, with a specific focus on tennis

Gymnastics 

Our Grade 1 and 2 students are having a blast participating in Gymnastics clinics! We are very lucky to have Jade from TriSkills running the students through 4 sessions of fun and movement skills. Here are some photos to enjoy from our first 2 sessions.
