PE Week 6

Well well well. The terms is certainly flying by.

Hot weather has led to the cancellation of 2 major sporting events in the District Athletics Carnival and the first week of Friday Afternoon SAPSASA sports. The Friday Afternoon SAPSASA Sports will begin this weekon Friday (Weather permitting) at Mansfield Park. Children will be playing Volleyball and Softball against other local schools including Mansfield Park, Ridley Grove and Challa Gardens.

The District Athletics carnival looks like being held quite early in Term 2. The latest information available has suggested that the carnival will be held on the Monday of week 2, but this is subject to change. It may also need to be held at a venue other than SANTOS Stadium due to the change of date. More information as soon as we know something more concrete.

In other news, Active After School has been going relatively smoothely, though some kids will need to check their weeks and ensure they have swimming gear like bathers and a towel. I'm looking into getting some new gear for the sports shed, so please provide ideas through the comment section.

In addition, three students from the school have started playing Kanga Cricket at Woodville Cricket Club on Saturday mornings. They seem very keen and seem to be enjoying greatly. There may possibly some more places for young crickets who are under year 4.

Not much more to say. Enjoy your sport. Post questions on the comments section.

PE Week 3

Another huge week in sport with plenty happening.

Firstly, we started the Active After School program on Wednesday for years R to 3 and Thursdays for years 4 to 7. Both groups enjoyed the pool greatly and had loads of fun. Remember next week that swimming is much more fun when you have a towel and proper bathers, so make sure you are properly prepared.

In other news, I selected the team for District Athletics Day on Friday, 19th of February. The team will representing the school at SANTOS stadium. Congratulations to the following people:

2010 - Start of the Year Stuff

Thursday, January 21, 2010

So we are starting another year! My name is Mr. Badman and I will be taking the P.E. with all the classes and organising the school sports program including SAPSASA sport, after school sports and inter school sports. In addition to this I will be working with a couple of classes with their Literacy and Numeracy.

Last year, I worked at Enfield Primary School as a P.E. teacher and enjoyed it very much.

At the moment, I play Cricket for Belair Cricket Club and Indoor Soccer for a team made up of friends I went to school with. In the winter, I will probably play field Soccer; although I don't know which club I will play for just yet.

In the past, I have played Baseball, Aussie Rules Football, Basketball, Hockey, Cricket, Soccer, Tennis, Softball, Rugby Union, Touch Football and mixed Netball. I have either played for organised clubs or in social teams (Teams organised by friends).

I love playing and watching sports a lot. I wouldn't say that I was particularly fantastic at any sport, but I think the most important thing about sport is having a go, getting puffed out and meeting new people.

Cheers for now,

Mr. Badman
