Term 4 @ a glance
This term will revolve around connection for the students, between themselves, their peers and also the sporting equipment. I am well aware that due to the current restrictions, team sport has been a missing component in their development, and as such we will look at ensuring we are able to meet this as much as possible this term. Please feel free to have a glance and refer to this throughout the term. (I will also post this in every newsletter).
| Area 2 | Area 3 | Area 4 | |

| Year 5/6 | Invasion Games | Net & Wall Games | Sports Day (Virtual) |
Being physically active is also important, so I have designed a before school program to ensure that we are providing the students with as much time as possible to be physically active (and using skills previous learnt in some cases) before commencing their learning in the homeroom.
