Welcome to Term 3 Physical Education! This term is going to look a little different to how we had originally planned but we hope you enjoy exploring different ways to do your PE skills and stay fit and healthy during Learning From Home 2.0.

Every day we encourage you to access the Daily Physical Activity page and complete some of the activities. These will change weekly to hopefully keep you engaged and active each day.

Every Wednesday will be a day dedicated to Specialist learning. We have made the Warm Up for your PE lessons to be the same across the school, so we encourage siblings (and perhaps even parents) to start their lessons together.

Each class will also have the opportunity to meet with their teacher in a weekly sharing session where learners will be able to come and say hi, ask questions and share what they have been doing at home to stay active.
