Years 3 - 6; Skipping Focus in Term 3!

During Term 3 Physical Education classes in Years 3 - 6, we have each set goals to skip continuously for as long as possible!  Students have been practising this life skill to not only improve their physical fitness but also to strengthen their heart muscles too!  We have been choosing different tricks and challenges from the Jump Rope for Heart Website, which includes some fantastic instructional videos to learn from too.  In order to continue this focus during Remote Learning we have offered every student in Years 3 - 5 a School Skipping Rope to take home with them today.  Please look after this rope as best you can aim to return it to school after Remote Learning.

We understand that the weather in August is not going to be as motivating for students to continue to exercise.  With this in mind, we hope that by having their own skipping rope to use in the garage and out of the weather, the students will be keen to continue practising this great skill.  Mr McMillan and I will continue to post other ideas for fitness via the Google Classroom, and we encourage students to share any videos or photos of them skipping, so that we can use these to motivate others. 

If you have any questions or concerns, then please feel free to email us at sport@sjwarrnambool.catholic.edu.au
