Drone: Gr 5 Invasion Games Assessment

Grade 5 Invasion Games 
For the first lesson Gr 5's played bench ball. As part of the teacher and student pre-assessment of skills we used a drone. The drone enabled us to get a bird's eye view of the full playing area.  The teachers and students will use the video's to look at skills such as: 

• Movement into space. 
• Movement to create space for ourselves and team.
• Techniques used to keep and regain the ball. 
• Defense and Attacking strategies.

Students can think about:How do I create space for my teammates and myself?

• What techniques can I use to help my team keep the ball?
• What must you remember when attacking or defending?
• Select and discuss which tactics and strategies might allow your game plan to be more successful?

G1 Invasion Games - Tuning in

The Ball Games / Invasion Games unit, which is our new unit, is something that most Grade 1 students have not participated in before. As part of our tuning in activities we watched the Secondary students playing some invasion games and discussed what we thought the Secondary students were doing.

The G1 students thought the Secondary students were good at catching the ball, they could throw the ball well and they ran around lots. We also noticed that they were good at sharing, waiting their turn and they didn't fight with each other!

We then went and practised our own throwing and catching with different types of balls.

Grade 5 - PE reflections

Grade 5 Health Related Fitness

On 8 September Grade 5 students completed a fitness test. The 20 meter multistage fitness test is a commonly used running aerobic fitness test. It is also known as the 20 meter shuttle run test, beep or bleep test. When students had run as far as they gained an individual level number e.g; 5.4  This is an individual based fitness test where students are gaining an understanding of their own fitness. Students will complete this test several times throughout the year, in hope of improving their fitness levels. We strongly encourage all students to complete any extra exercise beyond the P.E. lessons. All students completed the "bleep" test with a positive attitude and enthusiasm. 

New Climbing Wall in Early Years

We now have a  small indoor climbing wall in the Early Years common play area for the students to play on. Climbing is a great activity for children to develop strength, coordination, balance and being a risk taker while having fun.
