Our Learning in Physical Education

Prep – Gymnastics

In Physical Education this term, students have been focusing on building strength, improving flexibility, and honing co-ordination through engaging gymnastic exercises and activities. Several of these activities required a collaborative approach while working with a partner or in a small group to complete a task. Students were also asked to think about their surrounds and personal space when walking, running and crawling during games to avoid contact with others.

Year 1/2 – Gymnastics

Throughout the term in Physical Education, students have been learning about flexibility and its importance when trying to perform gymnastic positions. They were asked to rehearse a variety of gymnastic positions, which after many practice sessions, they then put a selection of these positions together to perform a mini routine. They also worked on maintaining a solid landing from a jump action and were asked to hold a strong balance when walking or crawling.

Year 3/4 – Athletics

In Physical Education this term, students participated in School Athletic try outs which saw them participate in a range of events such as: shot put, discus, high jump, triple jump, long jump and track running events. Students were given multiple practice sessions on each discipline.

Students also worked on improving their individual fitness by joining in on more intense warmups.

Year 5/6 – Athletics
