Physical Education Term One 2020

This term has seen the 5/6 grades begin their Inter School Sports program. The choice of sports that they have been training for are Rounders, Tennis, Bat Tennis, Softball and T20 Cricket. The children in foundation have started the year playing games to get them settled into school routines and sport. 

The 3/4s have been focusing on building fitness. The focus across the school in considering the children’s welfare and good habits, adequate rest and healthy eating. The skill focus has been developing good hand eye coordination. Lots of ball play and small sided games. 

The 1/2s challenge has been about building capacity to play games, cooperative play and teamwork. We have been playing relay games like tunnel ball, running relays and working together as a team. 

Thornbury Primary School has a strong sporting ethos and my task will be to continue to place the children at the centre of the learning and make sport part of their daily lives.
