Welcome to Term 4!  So far we have had lots of fun with Coach Tim playing basketball drills with S3 and sometimes S1.  Students have been trying really hard, following Tim’s instructions and working together beautifully in small groups - throwing, catching, dribbling and shooting.  Their confidence and abilities have progressed in just 2 sessions, from students having a go and following Tim’s top tips!  S4 have also been playing PE games in the gym room.  We’ve done ‘Hot Potato’ – hitting the beach ball to each other for as long as we can, keeping score and trying to beat our personal best.  We have also been playing badminton activities and drills in the gym, leading into practice games using a range of ‘shuttle-cock’ type objects.  In week 6 we have the swimming carnival on Monday and the ‘Colour Fun Run’ on the Thursday.  We’ve had a look at the prizes students can choose from for the different amounts of money raised.  There are some amazing prizes to be collected.  In maths this term some students have explored number concepts and language through song and play with more able students helping out.  It’s so good to see the team work everyone in the class is keen to engage in, making the class a fun and inclusive place for all.  Thanks, Andy, Bernadette, Chrissy and Sabana ?
