Term 3 News

Hi All,

P.E Lessons

Welcome back to another exciting Term of P.E at St Michael’s. This term, students in Years 2-6 will be participating in ‘Invasion Games’ for the first four weeks. For those of you who are wondering, an invasion game is any game or sport that involves attacking an oppositions territory while defending your own. Games such as Netball, Football, Soccer, Basketball, Capture the Flag etc are all types on invasion games. Foundations and Year 1’s will continue to develop their Fundamental Movement Skills and participation in small games. The second half of the term will see all student from F – 6 participating in Gymnastics.

SAPSASA Basketball

On Thursday the 26th of July, 10 enthusiastic Year 6 St Michael’s boys competed in the Year 6/7 State SAPSASA Basketball Championships at Wayville basketball stadium. Playing against opposition that were a year older, our boys fought hard but struggled to score against the taller players from the other teams. Despite not winning a game on the day the St Michael’s players effort could not be questioned and every match they improved, reducing the opposition scores with persistent defence while increasing our scoring opportunities. A huge thanks to Justin Bubner who coached the boys on the day and helped develop their knowledge of the game.

Knockout Football

An impressive victory over Plympton Primary School on Friday 27th of July sees our Knockout Football team through to the semi finals of the State Small Schools SAPSASA competition. We now are taking on Happy Valley this Friday. Best of luck boys!!

City to Bay

The City to Bay is happening again this year on the 16th of September. Last year St Michael’s had roughly 30 students and parents participate in the event. This year we would like to increase that number again. What a great opportunity to get out and get fit by walking, jogging or running in the 3km, 6km or 12km events. I along with Mrs Taylor will be holding some training sessions on Thursday after school to help prepare for the event. So register now and feel free to chat to me if you have any questions.

LAST YEARS AWESOME TEAM !!

 

Cheers,

Mr.P
