Fitness Session

This a great example of our grade 5/6 fitness sessions. It shows the strength and determination in our students. At the beginning of the sessions the students were a bit timid and worried. However as their confidence grew so did their strength! I really really really enjoyed watching this session to see the change and passion for fitness and doing their best these studetns demonstrated. Awesome effort guys!

This is a great example

Barr Reserve Fitness Sessions

During term 3, 2010 grade 5/6 students at Wang West are participating in a Fully Fit Fully Sic fitness program. This is where students participate in 3 half hour fitness sessions per week and one gymnastics session. They are also learning about healthy bodies and lifestyles. Our Barr Reserve Fitness sessions have been a wonderful eye opener for students, seeing that fitness and exercise is not just about playing and training for an organised sport or going for a run or a walk. There are so many other ways to get fit. In this session students thought they were going to have a tug of war... eagerly every one ran to get their position on the rope. Next Brandon our instructor asked everyone to lift the rope above their head and start running to the other end of the oval. The students were asked to do lots of different tasks with the rope and at no stage was the rope alowed to touch the ground. The look on the kids faces was priceless and the enthusiasm was inspiring! Lots of fun getting fit, indeed!

Writing in 5/6 KC

This was a game that we played to assist with our writing skills. We are looking at Procedure text, so this game was designed so students could understand what made good instructions. The game was called Blind Build, where the person with the blind fold had to construct a building made from Lego that looked exactly like their partners building without seeing it. Their partner had to give them the instructions. It was great fun, as students got more and more cleaver with their instructions they made the builds harder and challenged themselves. When each person had had at least one turn we then gathered all of our ideas to come up with a list of good ways to give instructions. I was really pleased with the ideas that 5/6kc students came up with and the way they interacted with each other during this lesson! Awesome work guys!
