Physical Education Week is a celebration of Health and Physical Education and is in its 40th year this year. PE Week gives us an opportunity to celebrate our learning and promotes the importance of Health and PE  to the learning and development of children.

At Craigburn, our Yr 6 Be Active Leaders have put together a program for the week around the theme days promoted by ACHPER.

Mindful Monday – Activities to improve our overall well being. Yoga in the gym at recess and lunch and Mandala mindfulness colouring in the library at lunch.

Table Tennis Tuesday – Table tennis challenges and games at recess and lunch for the students to enjoy. R-3 at recess and Yr 4-6 at lunch.

Wheels Wednesday – Walking or running laps around the oval. All students are invited to come out to the oval after lunch and run or walk as many laps as possible. Let’s see what record the school can set within an hour.

Throwback Thursday – Activities that have been around for decades and some that our students have enjoyed this year. Parachute games, elastics and the sports day health hustle will be available at recess and lunch for the students to participate in.

Fundamental Friday – Some challenge activities using fundamental movement skills. Basketball shooting, Football goal kicking and soccer dribbling challenges will be on offer to the students at recess and lunch.
