On Wednesday 4th September, we celebrated National Health & Physical Education (HPE) Day! Our students participated in a variety of outdoor games. We focused on working together and having fun whilst being active. Thank you to our sport leaders for assisting me in planning the activities for the day.
National HPE Day is a nationwide initiative that highlights the importance of HPE and its influence on the learning and development of children. Research shows that children’s participation in physical activity leads to better student engagement, improved academic achievement, encourages lifelong participation and better health outcomes in adult life! Whether you’re a parent, caregiver or teacher - everyone has a role to play in helping young people take a step towards leading healthier and happier lives!
I interviewed some of our students about what being active means to them and how they keep themselves active:
Lola – staying active makes me feel happy and energised. I love PE, it is my favourite subject because I love playing sports in particular basketball. I also stay active outside of school by playing basketball.
Kit – it feels fun to be moving your body. I stay active at recess and lunch by moving around playing soccer, netball and basketball. On the weekends I love being active playing soccer. Soccer is over now so I might start a summer sport like tennis.
Lila – I like running around and having a go on the trampoline to stay active at home. On the weekends I stay active by going to swimming lessons.
Cooper – I enjoy spending time outside with friend and family. I also enjoy playing soccer at recess and lunch time. At home I am quite active on my motorbike. I love riding down hills.
Lacie - I like playing netball because we get to play in teams. I also enjoy playing octopus because I love running around and being active.
Lucas – in PE today, we used the big parachute. I loved making the giant mushroom and when we put the bouncy balls on top of the parachute. It was so much fun.
Jinta – I love being active outside. My favourite thing to do in PE is when we run around playing games.
Patrick – in PE we used the big parachute. I liked running under the parachute. I love being active with my friends.
Kayden – I enjoy playing games with my friends outside running around.
Grace – I like when we play my favourite sport in PE and I enjoy playing games with my classmates.
Zac – I love playing soccer with my friends this term
To celebrate the conclusion of the 2024 Olympics and Paralympics Games, on Friday September 27th at 11:00 am – 12:30 pm we will be hosting our second ever Molesworth Primary School Mini Olympics!
The event will start with a parade of 3 teams; Greece, Australia and France. Each team has been decided based on our house colours. Students in Blue Gum will represent Team Greece, students in River Mint will represent Team Australia and students in Waratah will represent Team France. Students are encouraged to wear a piece of appropriate clothing in their house colour!
Following the parade we will hear from our Sport Leaders and a very special guest (a 5 time Olympian). We will then compete in 3 different activities/games and finish with a closing ceremony speech from Mrs Smith and our Sport Leaders We will also have a special performance by our Grade 3-4 class and each student will receive a special participation ribbon.
Miss Gourlay will pass onto students additional details and reminders in PE lessons in the lead up to the games.
If you would like to come along to support our second Mini Olympics you are more than welcome to!
We cannot wait for the games to begin!
On Monday at our morning meet and greet, the Sport Leaders, Ashley and Oaklahn unveiled to the whole school our new sports representative tops!! Our previous sports representative singlets no longer complied with the Sun Smart policy. These tops look and feel amazing and will make sure our representative sports teams will stand out as ‘Team Molesworth’! I can’t wait for our next team to wear them!
I would like to pass on a massive thank you to our amazing school association who funded the purchase of our new tops. We will now be able to wear these new tops for many years to come!
To add to our new tops, our new house colour banners have arrived, with the new DECYP logos. Fantastic! We can’t wait to use these at our next school event.
Our Grades 3 to 6 swimming trials will be held during the first week of Term 4.
This is an optional carnival event for all our Grades 3 to 6 students. We strongly encourage those students who were in group 2 or 3 during our Swimming and Water Safety Program earlier in Term 1 to sign up!
A note has been sent home via Schoolzine to our families of Year 3, 4 5 and 6 students, if your child is interested in participating in this years swim trials, please sign this form indicating if they can confidently swim 25 metres or 50 metres.
In the lead up to the carnival, Miss Gourlay will discuss the details and expectations of the Swimming Trials with our Year 3/4, 4/5 and 6 classes. If you have any questions at all please don’t hesitate to contact Miss Gourlay on seesaw or contact the school office.
Using the results from our swim trials, we will put together a Molesworth Primary swimming team that will compete at the SPSSA Division F Swimming Carnival on Monday 11th November.
