PE – Term Three (Prep to Year 2)

In Term Three Prep to Year Two students have been participating in a striking unit. This unit has taught them to perform a punt kick with an AFL ball, an instep kick with a soccer ball and a hand pass with an AFL ball. Once students had learnt these three skills, they played modified games involving teams. Students in Prep to Year Two have also been engaged in station activities where six stations are set up and they rotate between them throughout the lesson. These activities involve passing, catching, kicking, dribbling with feet, hands and hockey sticks, shooting hoops, scooter boards, skipping, goal shooting, ups and downs with tennis racquets, hopping, jumping, skipping, side stepping, animal crawling and balancing. It has been wonderful to watch the students grow over the term.

PE – Term Three (Year 3 to Year 6)

Students in Year Three to Year Six have been engaged in a touch football unit. Students have learnt to pass and catch a touch football, play the ball, defend, perform a dump and split, perform a wrap, three-person ruck and draw and pass. Students have then put these skills into game-based situations playing in teams against members of their class. I have seen major development amongst the students in all these grades.
