House Athletic Carnival
In PE over the last term, students from Prep to Grade 6 have been learning about athletics, which is made up of the track, field and relay events. Students have approached the athletics events and the unit, which involves competitive jumping, running and throwing and hurdles, with a great amount of enthusiasm! Students from Prep to Grade 6 practised hurdles as well as standing sprint starts. We also held the inaugural Yr 3-6 class high jump championship.
All students used a tennis ball to learn the technique of throwing a shot put, before progressing to metal shots.
We completed the athletics unit with shuttle and circular relays in our house teams using aluminium batons. Congratulations to the fastest four students from each age group who successfully demonstrated the circular relay on the day of our athletics carnival!
Students are to be commended on how well they participated in the 3-6 House Athletic Carnival at Lakeside Stadium last week; thank goodness the weather held out! A very special thank you to all the teachers and parents who helped run the day.
