This Week in Our Learning:
This week has been a very engaging and exciting week in Physical Education across all grade levels.
Grades 4–6: Health-Related Fitness (HRF) – Circuit Training
Our upper primary students are actively participating in Circuit Training as part of their Health-Related Fitness (HRF) unit. During this unit, students are:
- Learning about different components of fitness, including cardiovascular endurance, muscular strength, muscular endurance, flexibility, and coordination
- Rotating through structured fitness stations
- Monitoring their effort and pacing themselves appropriately
- Setting personal fitness goals
- Practicing correct technique and body control to ensure safety
Our younger students are developing their understanding of invasion games. In this unit, they are learning:
- How to position themselves effectively in space
- Understanding simple positions and roles (attacker, defender, teammate)
- Their responsibilities as players
- How to contribute positively to their team
- How to move into open space and avoid crowding
A strong focus has been placed on collaboration, teamwork, and spatial awareness. Students are learning that:
Student Spotlight:
It has been wonderful to see students demonstrate leadership, encouragement, and resilience during activities. Many students are stepping outside their comfort zones, supporting teammates, and showing strong collaboration skills. We are proud of the positive energy and teamwork displayed across all classes.
Looking Ahead:
Next week, students will continue refining their fitness techniques and game strategies. Grades 4–6 will focus on improving personal endurance goals within their circuit stations, while Grades 1–3 will build on their understanding of positions, movement into space, and effective teamwork during invasion games.
