Our students learned so much from the PE students from the Australian College of Physical Education.
Every Friday for the last 8 weeks they have come with Ms Clunes and taken St. 1 and St. 2 for Fundamental Movement Skills.
We have seen how their lessons have complimented the work Ms Dongas does with the students.
Here are some photos of their last day with us.
On Friday 25th of June was BSPS Jump Rope For Heart Jump Off Day.
Each stage “jumped off” for 1 hour in area 5. Students were sponsored by family and friends to raise money for the Heart Foundation.
Students all had a great time skipping and showing off the skills they had learnt during sport lessons and at lunch time.
There was also a yummy sausage sizzle on the day and healthy oranges to keep up energy levels.
Thank you to all that participated and made it such a lovely day.

Our school uses digital games as part of our students’ learning programs. The Telegraph newspaper found out about this and wanted to include some information and photos about what we do in the paper, especially how we use the Wii as part of our PD / Health / PE program.
Here are some photos of the photo shoot in our school today.
3 Baz and Mrs Pericles showed the Newspaper photographer how they played Wii Tennis.
Ms Dyer and Mrs Pericles photographed the photographer. The audience and the players were enthusiastic and we all enjoyed sharing our expertise, experience and uniqueness.

Individual skipping and group activities. How long can you skip without stopping?
FRIDAY
Sport. (Round Robin)
We play Tee ball, Beat the Ball and Fortress.This session is skill based. We get to play other classes and get points for winning, for sportsmanship and for wearing our hats. Our points are displayed on the notice board. Best and fairest players are rewarded at assembly with a certificate. All members of the winning team receive a ribbon at the end of the term.
Another of the special interest groups is sport. The students had a great time learning skills, playing modified games and being taught tactics at the same time. Here they are with one group playing touch and the other AFL.
Monday is a very busy day!!
Stage 2 and 3 have Music with the Jellybeans and Stage 1 and Kindies have Dance2Bfit.
The debaters are debating Burwood Public School.

Cricket Workshops for Stage 2 and 3 are on Tuesday.
What is golden time you ask?
It is a time when you can enjoy a relaxing end of the week doing something you really, really like doing!
Does everyone in the school have Golden Time?
All those students in the school who have worked well and behaved appropriately in the week get to have Golden Time.
When is Golden Time? Usually Friday afternoon.
Is there any special event that can happen in Golden Time?
Oh yes! The Class of the Week gets to use the DS Lites and all the games we have to go with them.
Teachers and their students can negotiate special rewards like playing extra sport, using the Wii’s, doing some special artwork anything really.
The only thing to remember is if you want to be in Golden Time you have to be well behaved, work hard and not muck about.
Are there other schools in the world who have Golden Time or something like it?
Last year our school achieved Gold Level in the Premier’s Sporting Challenge.
The Challenge is a great way to motivate students to participate in physical activity. It also motivates teachers to set interesting, exciting and challenging physical activities with their classes.
All the classes become very competitive because their weekly physical activity also goes towards their Class of Year Awards.
The program only needs to run for 5 weeks. At our school it is unanimous we are doing the program for 10 weeks.
Last year we received over $5000 for participating and doing so well.
You should see the great equipment we’ve got to make this year’s sport programs really effective.
Ms Dongas is organising the Challenge.
Come on it’s just 20 minutes exercise a day . . . GET ACTIVE!!!
Look how much we do already.
