Dear Parents
& Students,
During the first part of quarter one our 6th
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,
Kate Pennel
Middle School
Physical Education Department
