Message from Mrs Wakefield –

Special Religious Education procedures The Department of Education has worked collaboratively with NSW Consultative Committee for SRE to revise and strengthen procedures and accountability to provide clarity for parents/carers approved by providers. The revised procedures will be fully implemented starting in Term 1 2019. If you would like a copy of the procedures, please access the Department of Education website or please make a time to come and see me. Thank you Science and Technology K-6 Syllabus The NSW Education Standards Authority (NESA) syllabuses are regularly reviewed and are developed with respect to some overarching views about education. These include the NESA K-10 Curriculum Framework and Statement of Equity Principles, and the Melbourne Declaration on Educational Goals for Young Australians (Dec 2008). In 2019, the Science and Technology K-6 revised syllabus will be implemented. Other syllabi have been revised over time and the PDHPE syllabus is now being trialled to be implemented in 2020. Yours in education Leanne Wakefield, Principal.

PE HOME FUN – OVERARM THROW Throwing for Distance Family Challenge is the second last home activity for 2018. As always, the activity cards explain the learning experience and organisation and highlights teaching tips for learning the nominated Fundamental Movement Skill (FMS).

OVERARM THROW HOME FUN Throwing for Distance Family Challenge

Learning Experience Organisation Teaching Tips • Using an open space, practise throwing a ball

as far as you can and mark the distance (using any object).

• Have 10 attempts and move the marker each time you throw past it.

• Once you’ve finished measure the distance of your longest throw by counting the number of steps it takes and try to beat it next time.

• Parents/carers also have a go.

Equipment: 1 ball – can modify with pair of rolled up socks or even newspaper if space is limited. Set up: Large open space. May need to go to a nearby park or field. Time: 15 minutes.

Correct OVERARM THROW technique: -Eyes focused on the target. -Stand side on to target area. -Throwing arm moves in a downward and backward arc. -Step towards the target with the opposite foot to the throwing arm. -Hips then shoulders rotate forward. -Throwing arm follows through down and across the body.

Please find the time to get active with your children at home. Mrs Seale PE Teacher
