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,
Michael Coleman
Middle School Physical Education Department
