  FANTASTIC PHYS. ED!

Proudly brought to you by Katherine and Ms. Wood

The SUPER STAR students of Miners Rest Primary School have hit the ground running in Term One by getting straight into training for our upcoming whole school athletics carnival on Wednesday the 31st of March.  We are so impressed with everyone’s excitement towards competing as a whole school! 

All year levels have been focused on technique, skills and advancement within the many sports we will be hosting at Llanberris Reserve.  Foundation, Year One and Two have been learning and perfecting their over arm throws and running styles ready to race fast on the day.  Years Three, Four, Five and Six are concentrating on correct form and using all of their strength to launch shot puts and discuses sky high! In the weeks to come the upper school students will continue to focus on throws, running events, long jump, high jump and the ever popular, relay race.  Teams for this event will be chosen after sprint heats that will commence at school before the carnival. 

Katherine and I are enjoying teaching and watching students learn and become more confident when undertaking these events during their Physical Education hour.  It is wonderful to see them praising great efforts, encouraging others and offering support to fellow students as they throw, run or jump.  We have placed a strong focus on being a ‘good sport’ and not giving up before we start.  All we can ask is that the children come along in their house colours, enjoy the day, support their school mates, try their best and give it a RED HOT GO!

Tennis

Today would have seen a very keen group of students competing in the Head Primary School Tennis Championships. These students worked hard during tennis trials held at the end of last year and the beginning of this term. Unfortunately, due to the latest COVID restrictions this event has been unable to go ahead at this stage. We will keep you posted with any updates on this event.

Congratulations to the following students for making the Miners Rest Tennis Teams for 2021.

GIRLS - Remmy W, Karinda H, Isabelle H, Zahli C

BOYS - Campbell Mc, Malachi B, Hugh B, Nash Mc, Archer B, Brayden J.

Our wonderful students doing their best in PE this term!
