Battleball

Our Year 5/6 students are excited to finally have the opportunity to play BPPS's favourite game 'Battleball' during Friday sport for the remainder of the term. Battleball is a similar game to dodgeball, with a few differences including that when students go 'out' they are still able to contribute to their team.

Year 5/6 PE - SEPEP

If your child is in Year 5 or 6, they might have come home talking about how they are taking part in SEPEP. SEPEP stands for Sport Education in Physical Education Program and is where the students are separated into teams and they amicably decide who within their team will be the coach, captain, publicity officer, event coordinator/team manager, timekeeper/scorer and referee. Over a four week period, we will be playing games of soccer/futsal where students are required to perform their role so the program can work successfully. If your child is in Year 5 or 6, make sure you ask them what their current role is and what their responsibilities are when performing this task.

This Week in PE......

A reminder to make sure that your child brings a drink bottle to each lesson.

Students will be focusing on the following topics over the next two sessions:

• Foundation - Basketball Dribbling (Bouncing)
• Year 1/2 - Forehand Striking
• Year 3/4 - Target Games
• Year 5/6 - SEPEP Soccer Unit

Don't forget that children aged between 5 and 12 years of age should be aiming for at least 60 minutes of moderate to vigorous physical activity each day.
