We have been enjoying some beautiful Djeran days over the past month for our sport and games classes.  However, with increased rainfall on the way during Makuru, please ensure that your child has a rain jacket and change of clothes for sport lessons.     

Class One and Two  

It has been great to see Class One and Two becoming familiar with our game's routine across Term 2.  We start each lesson with a verse and bean bag exercises in the class, which are aimed at developing the children's fine and gross motor skills.  This is then followed with outdoor cooperative games.  Our main intention for Term 2 has been hand eye coordination and ball skills, with highlights including 4 square and dodgeball.    

Class Three and Four  

Class 3 have been focusing on their balance, spatial awareness and kicking skills over the past four weeks.  This was highlighted with some excellent target hitters and a fun game of soccer to finish the 4-week program.  I am excited to be introducing the class to Bothmer Gym over the next four weeks with the class learning the Class 3 roundelay. 

Class 4 continues to bring enthusiasm and positive energy to their sport classes each week.  Our focus for the first half of the term has been on basketball skills including dribbling and shooting.  We have also worked on developing our hand eye coordination with a range of ball games.  We are now moving onto soccer for the next four weeks.  

Class Five and Six 

At the end of last term Class 5 and 6 participated in a surf excursion to Cosy Corner along Perkins Beach.  The day was a fantastic success with fun small conditions allowing the whole class to get involved and catch some fun waves.  I was proud of the effort and attitude the class displayed throughout the day.  This term we have been moving through a soccer progression focusing on ball control.
