Year 2 News
The Year 2 students have been learning about data collection in numeracy this week. Students have enjoyed collecting data and creating their own lists, tables and graphs. We have been learning about the most efficient ways to collect data and how to create a bar graph using data that we have recorded. We also answered questions about our results and findings. Students have been practising their multiplication facts, where they answer as many questions as they can in 10 minutes as a warm up.
Physical Education and Sports update
We have had lots of action in our regular Physical Education classes this term. Students have completed two weeks of swimming, football and netball clinics and a surprise trial of hockey presented by coaches from Hockey Geelong.
On behalf of all the students at QPS we would like to extend a HUGE ‘Thank You’ to both Ken Lugsdin and Laura Clark from the Queenscliff Football and Netball Club for volunteering their time and sharing their expertise with our students.
In PE over the next few weeks, we are utilising grant funding from Sporting Schools Victoria to engage a gymnastics coach in two weeks of classes at the St Aloysius Parish Hall. We will have equipment set up in the hall and students will visit in their regular PE sessions to participate in these activities.
It has been another busy few weeks at school with many opportunities provided for students to represent Queenscliff Primary School and participate in sporting events. Below are reports written by students involved in Cross Country running at Eastern Gardens and Football and Netball lightning Premiership held at Shell Road in Ocean Grove.

Last Tuesday the grade 5/6 students went to Ocean Grove to compete in the Footy and Netball Lightning Premiership. The girl’s netball team consisted of Maya, Olivia, Sass, Winter, Mae, Ruby, Lottie, Elli and Laila.
Just after we arrived at the netball courts and footy ground we started to train. Our first game was against Portarlington Red. Olivia played centre and goal defence and maya was goal shooter and goal attack. Maya scored 12 goals and Yay we won 17 to 2.
We went on to our second game with confidence. The score was 5 to 7 so close but unfortunately, we lost and then we played Wallington 17 to 2 unfortunately we lost again.
In our final game we played Portarlington Blue, Olivia was goal defence and wing attack, and Maya was wing defence and off the court in the second half. I intercepted the ball and fell on my knee and there were lots more injuries but sadly we lost.
Football report by Ravi P and Jai V:
We went to Ocean Grove to play four games of footy. It was heaps of fun and we won two out of four games. We all came back tired and sadly we didn’t make it to round two but at least we had fun.
