The students are now into the second week of the 5th units of the year. Grade 5 students are participating in a new Gymnastics unit, with the focus for them being Rhythmic Gymnastics. This is involving them putting together floor routines using a variety of different gymnastic moves, such as rolls, jumps and balances, while at the same manipulating either a ball, hoop or ribbon. We are seeing some really high level moves and we have also notice lots of G5 students teaching the skills to younger students at recess and lunchtimes.
Grade 4 students are also participating in a new unit for the programme, by exploring different target games. This unit will culminate with them creating thier own target games. So far we have used our PE equipment to played modified Boules, 10 Pin Bowling and Quoits. We also turned the field into a Golf Driving Range.
In Grade 3, the students are participating in a creative dance unit. We are starting off by working in small groups to develop a range of dance steps. Our long term aim is for the students to create a dance that tells a story.
Kindergarten students are also expressing themselves through dance and some yoga in their classes. Star War themed yoga being the most popular activity so far. Both of these units link in with the How We Express Ourselves Units taught in class.
G1 students are playing different ball games and are developing their sending and receiving skills, while G2 students are using similar skills to playing different types of Invasion Games.
