Year 3 & 4 Sport

Our year 3 & 4 students participated in their first week of our sports skills program. All year 3 & 4 students spent our middle session and afternoon session out on the oval and multipurpose court rotating through four separate sports. This will happen while our year 5 & 6 classes are out at Gala sports.

Our focus for the program are the sports that we participate in annually, namely, Volleyball, Touch and T20 Cricket. The fourth sport, is a multi-sport – activities like 10 pin bowling and bocce. Again, a massive thanks for the supporting teachers.

During week 1 – students focused on skills for each sport, week 2 will work on additional skills and start introducing modified game play and in week 3 it is planned that they focus more on modified game play.

Swimming

Swimming has started for this term – thanks to everyone who has been bringing their equipment as needed each week. Another thanks to parents who have been notifying us if their child is unable to participate in swimming.

We are still looking for help from parents in all of our Prep to year 2 space with some classes in more urgent need of help. Thanks so much to those who have already volunteered and are coming along, we can’t do it without you. Any helpers for Prep B would be amazing.

If you are able to help either for one lesson or maybe each week please email aawoo0@eq.edu.au

Adult support in these age groups makes a huge difference to our programs.

A reminder that personal equipment (swim cap, rashie, towel) is required to participate in the swimming program. There are limited numbers of “spare” equipment that is ok to use sometimes, but its important to get in the habit of having everything ready.

Named items of clothing are also essential. There were many lost items last week that could be solved easily if everything was named – yes please EVERYTHING!
