Term 4 PE has begun with students engaging in a range of exciting and fun learning opportunities. Our Kindergarten to Grade 2 students will be experiencing traditional cultural games played by Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities. They are incorporating geography into their learning by identifying where in Australia certain activities are played. To value-add to their vocabulary, our students are learning some indigenous words to describe equipment used to play games eg. a ball is called a " jillara", a bowl is called a "pirrha", a team is called a "totem". Our K-2 students are also participating in another unit of work using " nets". 

Grade 3 - 6 students have two main units this term to learn, develop and refine their skills and knowledge in PE. Students will be commencing PE Aquatics from Week 3 - 6. Currently, they have begun a unit called "Body Rhythm". Our students are learning traditional dances from around the world including traditional folk dances and Australian bush dancing. They are also composing individual/ group rhythm drumming sequences using "drum pipes". These are 50cm lengths of hollow black polypipe. What fabulous sounds these create!!  Please enjoy this selection of PE photos from Week 1 and 2 this term.
