In Prep, we have continued working through our unit on Athletics. We have been working and practicing our running skills by doing different relays, such as: running, skipping, hopping on one-foot, running backwards, and a sidewards run. Our prep students have continued learning and playing various minor warm up game’s such as ‘Fruit salad’ and ‘China wall’.

Our grade three, four, five and six students
have continued working on their unit of fitness. Students completed a shuttle run and a continuous 5 minute run to warm up. They then completed a mini circuit that included different activities, such as: push ups, planks, sprinting, star jumps, jogging on the spot and mount climbers. This week they have completed the beep test!
Amazing effort by all students!
