TRI SKILLS YEARS 3-6

Your child will be participating in a General Gymnastics Program conducted by the staff of Tri Skills Australia.

Years 3 to 6 - Term 1 Weeks 3 to 8
Beginning Friday 13th February, 2009

General Gymnastics is a generic activity and will through the four basics of fun, fitness, fundamentals and friendship, generate a competence which provides an opportunity for all to develop within their capabilities.  General Gymnastics incorporates the dominant movement patterns of spring, landings, rotations, statics, swing and locomotion activities.

In years 5 and 6 students are encouraged to develop their own routines.  These may be on the floor, the beam or the parallel bars.

The TriSkills instructors have requested that:

• Girls wear school sport shorts or skorts rather than skirts, however if that is not possible, they can wear their sport skirts but need to wear scungies (sport briefs) under their skirts.  These are available from the uniform pool.

As lessons involve the use of various equipment, it is also required that girls have their hair tied back and not to wear jewellery.
Socks and shoes must be labelled as the children will be working in bare feet.
