What's Happening in P.E

At Mackellar Primary School students attend P.E. with a willingness to participate and learn new skills. They are confident, motivated and work in teams with drive and focus to succeed. This term, students have bounced back into the gym and straight into Gymnastics and Dance. This will be the focus this term for all year levels. 

The grade prep – 2 cohort are looking at moving their bodies using a variety of body parts. They have began making big shapes and small shapes with their bodies and are practicing their strength and balancing. The students will be introduced to using gymnastics apparatus and exploring the different ways they can move on an apparatus. 

The grade 3 and 4 students are focusing on the basic principles of flight, and applying these into a sequence. Students will learn a safety-landing and how to perform a basic movement while in flight. By the end of term, students will be able to identify their own strengths and weaknesses in their performance. 

The grade 5 and 6 students are continuing with their Future Focused Learning. The focus for their learning this term is to apply the elements of movement when composing and performing movement sequence. I look forward to seeing the students’ progress and where the learning intention will take them.
