The PYP students have been outside beginning of Term 2.

They are using the football and basketball courts as well as the shaded areas when they have PE lessons in the latest hours of the day.

The safety protocols are still in place, keeping social distancing and using hand sanitizer or washing their hands before and after we go outside.

We are currently not using any equipment, but when times comes for us to use it, the school’s cleaning crew will help us sanitizing every object after each time we use it.

We have started our unit games and Athletics and the kids have been enjoying their time outside, they get excited and have a great time during our lessons.

This week the PHE team were able to resume back to teaching physical education lessons outside and started with badminton, the students were so excited about this.

We are very proud of SEK students for following all safety protocols and ensuring they keep a safe distance while exercising.

Students have been able to develop their social skills and explore ways on how to adapt games to suit the current social distance rules.

During this unit, we will be aiming to successfully build the student’s communication skills in a number of ways, with the chance to competitive participate in a range of games.

We look forward to the student’s having this time to be outside and be physically active.

This week our Grade 6 students explored concepts on speed and motion by challenging themselves in a fun activity that took place outside on the school grounds. Students worked in teams to collect data related to distance and time in tasks that involved walking in four different paces. The teams took to measure a path of 30 meters to walk along and used timers at the start of their 0 meter mark for each task.  In the upcoming week students will process the data that they collected by calculating and graphing their speeds to understand the relationship between distance and time.
