 Unit 4- Adventure Challenge
The Year Ones were very excited this week to start their new PE unit – adventure challenge. Adventure challenge involves working as a team to solve problems. During the unit we will focus on communication, problem solving and cooperation.
 Unit 4 PMP
Thanks to the parents who have volunteered to help this term. I have set the Year 1 students some PE homework for the next 4 weeks. The homework is to go and out and skip two or three times a week. They have been learning rope skipping in the PMP classes and it would be good to practice this skill at home as well.
Unit 4 Invasion Games -rugby

The Year Twos have started their new invasion games unit. The focus will be on a modified version of rugby and we look at how we attack and defend in rugby. During PMP we will focus on the skills of rugby including passing.
