LITTLE ATHLETICS VISIT AND WHOLE SCHOOL ATHLETICS CARNIVAL
We are sure off and racing this term with lots of athletics practise!
On Wednesday we had our first visit from Ben from Little Athletics Tasmania. We discussed with Ben what events are involved in little athletics, played games that tested our reaction times, practised our starting positions in a race, jumping and moving our bodies in different directions and running. All of our students will take home a little athletics flyer this week, we have attached it in the newsletter if you are interested in being involved in little athletics in your local area!
Ben will be back with us next week to practise more running, throwing and jumping athletics skills in preparation for our Kinder to Year 6 Whole School Athletics Carnival next Wednesday 14th December at 11:00 am-12:30 pm. If you are available on this day it would be fantastic if you could come and cheer on our students!
We will be sitting in our house colours and students are encouraged to wear an item/s of clothing in their house colour! As per our sun smart policy, if they are wearing a coloured top it must have sleeves. If your child is unsure what house colour they are in please see their class teacher, Miss Gourlay or the office. A reminder of our 3 house colours; blue gum - blue, river mint - green and Waratah - red.
Below is the description of each colour and their special meaning for our school community:
