PE WITH MISS GOURLAY
On Wednesday 12 August the Year 4/5 students travelled to Moonah Sports Stadium to participate in Wheelchair Basketball and other para sports as part of our focus in health and physical education. Our students had a lot of fun engaging in the different activities and found some of them quite challenging! The session was run in collaboration with Kevin and Richard from Physical disABILITY sports Tasmania and we thank them for this amazing opportunity for our students.
We sat in wheelchairs and we practiced moving around in them first. Then we played wheelchair basketball. After we played wheelchair basketball we played sitting volleyball – Kyeshia
It was really really really really fun! Richard (who was in a wheelchair) shared with us that you don’t want to be in a wheelchair as there are so many things you cannot do. If you are involved with someone doing something stupid tell them to stop otherwise, they might get really badly hurt and they might have to go in a wheelchair for the rest of their lives - Finn
Everyone played sitting volleyball. We played a game called Boccia with blue and red balls. We also practiced how to push ourselves in a wheelchair – Dante
