Health (P-2) Term Two
Prep students will be learning about their personal identity, safe areas to play at home, school and the wider community and emotional responses they experience in different situations. Year One will be focusing on respecting differences, their feelings and other people’s feelings to different situations and safety situations, and strategies. The learning focus for Year Two is their personal responsibility to keeping themselves and peers safe, emotional responses and body clues and looking at advertising. I will be teaching health lessons to Prep to Year Two in Semester One and Health lessons to Year Three to Year Six in Semester Two.
PE (P-2) Term Two
Students in Prep to Year Two are completing a Cricket unit learning how to throw, catch and bat. Students will also learn modified Athletics activities in the lead up to the school athletics carnival at the end of Term Two. Students will also be 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.
PE (3-6) Term Two
In Term Two, students will participate in Athletics, learning how to execute Shot Put, Discus, High Jump, Long Jump, Sprints, Relays and Ball Games. The skills the students have acquired will then be utilised in the school athletics carnival at the end of Term Two.

All students did a fantastic job on the day with Jamie Lowe, Taylor Wann, Finnegan Hannam, Aya Doherty and Rose Staed qualifying for the ZONE team and will now be competing at the Darling Downs Cross Country (Pictures Attached).
Discus Permission for Athletics Training and Event
During Term Two and Term Three I will be conducting Discus training in the lead up to St Saviour's Primary Athletics Carnival. As Discus is considered a HIGH risk activity, parent permission is needed for your child/ren to participate in training and the event at the School Athletics Carnival (if applicable). All training will be conducted by Mr Luck who is a qualified HPE teacher and an accredited athletics coach. Can you please fill out permission form on Sentral for your child to be able to receive training at school and complete in Discus at the St Saviour's Athletics Carnival? Please note that if no permission is received, then your child will not be able to participate.
