Term 3: Invasion Games

Utilising the SEPEP program students participated in the modified Australian Rules football game known as AFL 9’s. Within the program students developed the appropriate football skills and began learning and demonstrating the basic tactics involved within this sport in a safe and supportive competitive environment. Students were also allocated roles (coach, captain, team manager etc.) and with teacher support and guidance performed these positions throughout this unit.

Utilising the SEPEP program students participated in the Net Wall game of Volleyball. Within the program students developed the appropriate volleyball skills of “digging”, “setting” and “serving” and began learning and demonstrating the basic tactics involved within this sport in a safe and supportive competitive environment. Students were also allocated different roles to those in term 3 (coach, captain, team manager etc.) and with teacher support and guidance performed these positions throughout this unit. Students participated in a structured round robin competition against their peers and played off against other grades in their level in a final series.

Students participated in a range of Tag games & activities with and without equipment, with the aim to allow students to experience and understand the purpose of these games in a fun and safe environment.

Students also participated in a range of fitness tests and compared their results to those obtained during term 1. Students reflected on their results and discussed options on how to maintain/improve these results moving into the future.

The mean is another name for an average.

To achieve the mean we add all of the numbers in the set and divide it by the amount of numbers given.

The mean tells us something a bit like rounding because it is around there (eg 3,4,5    3+4+5=12     12/3 =4)

I played the number patterns game and I re-learned a few ways of seeing number patterns

I played the game equivelant fractions and learned how to find the fractions directly

I chose reading to be my goal because I have noticed that I have not been reading much and I have decided it to be my top priority goal. The steps I’m taking are

1. Choose a book that seems particularly interesting

2. Choose a number of pages that I will read every day or week

3.Try and increase it every time I succeed

4.Try and find spare time to use for reading

5.Read as much as I possibly can
