Reflection on Term 4 in Physical Education

Foundation to Year 2 students will experience lessons on the following fundamental movement skills:

Bouncing and dribbling a ball
Kicking a ball at ground level
Drop punt (Australian Rules Football)
Various two-hand strikes (connected to Pinata, Cricket and Tee Ball)

Years 3 - 6 will continue to develop their skills and game sense through a learning continuum of Territory Games, Net/Wall Games and Striking and Fielding Games. Our students continued to develop their fundamental, tactical, decision making and problem solving skills through social play where they also worked on the following:

communication
leadership
team work
collaboration
creativity
resilience
respect
tolerance
fair play and inclusion
emotional learning
social learning
physical development

Physical Literacy project

What is Physical Literacy? Physical literacy is about building the skills, knowledge and behaviors that give us the confidence and motivation to lead active lives.

We have been applying for various grants through our P.E. and Sport program in 2020 to build resources, training and further capabilities in our school to provide our students more opportunities to build their life skills through movement. So far we have received over $18,400 dollars to spend on teacher training, cross-curricular lessons (combining P.E. and Maths), sports equipment and delivery by myself towards various movement initiatives across the school to further support our community to value movement and develop the skills, confidence and competence to move lifelong. Term 4 sessions have included: Basketball, Two-hand strike, Football (Soccer) games, Cricket games, Volleyball, Team building and challenge and adventure activities.

Cricket Australia content development and filming

Cricket Australia has chosen our school trial and film new activities and games that will be used in the Primary School digital space at Cricket Australia. Teachers and coaches across Australia and around different parts of the world will have access to the activities, challenges and games with Roxburgh Primary School students and teachers featuring in the content. Thank you to the students who have been involved and to our parents/guardians for getting the forms completed for the students to experience this great and a once in a lifetime opportunity.
