Term 3 Soccer and AFL What an active 7 weeks of Soccer we have had in Physical Education. We are now concluding the term with another football code – AFL. Coaches from the Australian Football League will be visiting Fitzroy Primary School in weeks 8 and 10 to get the students used to bouncing that odd, shaped ball!
Lunchtime skipping
We have started long rope skipping at break times with students having a go at jumping and turning the long rope. It did not take long for the students to grasp the skipping concept. For those keen skippers please go to the following links to see some beginner tips, challenging tricks and some international skipping teams.
