General Course Overview & Quarter 1 Update

Dear Parents & Students,

During the first part of quarter one our 6^th Grade PE students were engaged in completing a series of fitness and biometric tests. Prior to the Christmas break students will analyze their data, graph it against age appropriate norms and use the results to select some personal fitness goals to work on during the remainder of the year.

Other curriculum activities covered by all students during the first quarter included the sports unit components of badminton and softball where we focused on relating the skills of sending objects with appropriate force and direction to game play situations. We will commence quarter two with either swimming or Health Education followed by and leading into quarter 3 with our other components of the sports unit (netball & basketball) and our adventure-learning unit.

Please have your child walk you through the information on their ‘MyDragonNet’, ‘PE’ page so you can view the program schedule and unit materials and assessment criteria/rubrics. Under the various unit components there are a number of student exemplars that bring the assessment criteria on the rubrics to life and can serve as a useful resource in helping students identify what it is they will be assessed on.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me via email.

Kind regards,
