Block one has seen physical Education and sport well and truly kick off here at BISL! Over the first 5-week block, students have delved deeply into roller blading, tennis, running, athletics, football, basketball and fitness within PE lessons, after school clubs and sports fixtures.
For our Primary School, all students have participated in roller blading PE lessons in which they have learnt about health and safety principals involving protective equipment, how to fall correctly, stand up efficiently and stop correctly. They have also learnt important technical skills such as blading on one leg, changing direction and moving body positions into the ‘low bridge’. From this, they have then successfully been able to apply them into fun team games such as domes and dishes, tag and tail catchers! It’s been a fantastic block of physical education from all primary students – well done!
Secondary students have been learning tennis in a completely new way involving a relatively new initiative from GB Tennis termed ‘Cardio Tennis’. This block of PE has seen students practice technical skills such as grips and their implementations for different shots for the forehand, backhand and serve. They have then applied these to movements around the court involving much speed and agility training with the use of ladders and mini hurdles – sometimes even with the added aid of music! Again, thank you and well done to all secondary students for your positive attitude to new challenges!
Afterschool clubs in basketball, football and fitness and running have had a wonderful attendance and the students are able to have fun and purposeful training time. A big thank you and congratulations to our first BISL Sport athlete, Iza Ergen, represented the BISL flag at the Team Championships of Secondary School of Ljubljana in the Athletics Cup.
To end an enjoyable first block of Sport and PE, a big thank you to the parents for providing your children with the necessary equipment for PE with rollerblading and tennis.
