Wide World of Sports with Mrs Betts

Sporting_News.JPG

Some of our Calliope State School girls have participated in the Chelsea Baker Cup Rugb1..pngy League skill sessions. They have had a lot of fun learning new skills and practising safe tackling. Last Wednesday, they competed for the Chelsea Baker Cup. They played three games of Rugby League. The girls played well and beat both Kin Kora and St John teams. 2..png

They played against the Barbarian team in the finals but sadly they missed winning the trophy by one goal scored by the Barbarians in the last few seconds of the match. It was a very exciting competition! Congratulations to our Calliope girls for their big effort and great sportsmanship!3..png

Year 6 Calliope 22..pngState School students were very lucky to get a visit from the Capras during their visit to Gladstone to play at Marley Brown. The students had a lot of fun participating in a Rugby League skill session with the two Capra players.

Mrs Betts will be down on the back oval at 8:35am on Tuesday and Wednesday mornings to encourage students in Year 3-6 to run laps of the oval. Each lap is recorded and there will be a competition amongst the year levels who gets the most laps. The top two-year levels will win the opportunity to play a game of dodgeball with Mrs Betts on the last day of term.

Please encourage your child to come and join us on the back oval, especially if they’ve got that little bit of extra energy that would be helpful to burn off before going into the classroom for the day.

The Great Calliope Skip Of19..pngf 

Once again this year, some of our year levels are learning skipping in their PE lessons. To encourage students to practise their skipping skills Mrs Betts has a One Minute and Two Minute wall of fame in the hall. Students who can skip non-stop for this time can add their name to the wall of fame. At the end of term there is a fun competition (The Great Calliope Skip Off) where students on the two-minute wall of fame get the opportunity to compete in a skip off against other students and teachers. Last man/child skipping gets a prize.

This year Mrs Betts is extending the competition to parents who might what to set themselves a challenge. If you are able to make two minutes non-stop skipping you are very welcome to come join us in the skip off.
