In Prep we’ve been practicing games and races in preparation for sports day that’s coming up!

The children loved to be part of a team and doing their best!

PE Update- April 15th
Lots of activities in Prep! Some great games of Hockey, Basketball, soccer and improving our coordination skills. A new game for many is Handball. Passing the ball down the court to your teammate without taking more than three steps and shooting a goal. A fast and fun game and important for learning body control.


PE Update- March 4th

So many activities in PE improve our hand-eye coordination so that has been an ongoing theme over the last few weeks. We worked a lot with balls; throwing, catching and bouncing. Also with small tennis rackets and soft balls and with scoops to catch.

We had a lot of fun with a bowling competition to see which team could knock over the most pins.

PE and music teachers have joined together this week to do some wonderful music and movement.

The power of music is amazing!

The children were excited and animated the minute the music started. We did some free "improvisation" as the children moved to different kinds of music.

Later we did some simple folk dancing routines and ended the lesson with some wonderful relaxing music to slow down!

PE Update- December 17th

In the last two weeks we’ve been working on throwing and catching balls.

We started by throwing a big soft ball and then moved down to a tennis ball as the children became more confident.

We had a lot of fun using a plastic baseball bat to hit a ball on a cone!

Next challenge was to hit a ball that was bowled by a friend. That’s not easy!!

Basketball has been our sport over the last two weeks.

We started with basic skills… bouncing the ball just once, then twice , then more on the spot.

We bounced the ball against the wall, then to a partner and then it was time to walk and bounce at the same time!

It’s a whole new feeling with a ball that is much heavier and learning to keep the ball bouncing is a great challenge.

We then shot some hoops… another great challenge!

PE Update- Nov 15th

A great challenge for us this week has been jumping rope!

The children have really tried hard:

We all know it’s not an easy skill to learn:

jumping just at the right moment when the rope’s going under your feet takes a lot of coordination and control… but slowly does it…

We did individual skipping with our own ropes and also jumping with someone else turning the rope.

We’ll be jumping rope again soon!

PE Update- Oct 26th

This week we've be working on basic body control skills with different balancing activities;

Walking down a beam, stepping on the tree blocks in the garden, and lots of other obstacles.

Everyone did a great job.

We practised our running technique at different speeds.

Afterwards we felt our heartbeat and noticed some changes that physical exercise makes on our bodies.
