Hi All,

So far this semester in HPE, students have had a look at different types of foods. Focusing on ‘sometimes’ and ‘always foods’ as well as safe ways to engage in different activities and how to work as a team.

In health, students primary focus has been on foods that we can always eat, and foods that can be eaten as a treat. Students have enjoyed engaging with interactive activities as well as pretend foods to help identify which foods are which.

Students have engaged in play-based learning, using different objects to create safe obstacle courses that involved students climbing over, crawling under and focusing on their balance. Students also participated in some balancing yoga type activities. Students also used team work to build cubby houses using gym mat equipment.

In the senior school, students have continued to develop their skills in the pool. With the instructors very impressed with the way that the students have engaged in their lessons. The students in recent weeks have been focusing on ways to save a person in danger without diving in. Students have had to come up with a variety of different ideas to save someone who might be in danger.

That’s all for now.

Mr Dale
