P3 are starting Term 1 with a gymnastics block. We have been learning all about balance and why it is an important skill in gymnastics. We have practised a variety of balances, including one-legged balances and plank balances. We have also worked with partners to create and demonstrate partner balances. Through these activities, we have been developing our strength, coordination, teamwork and confidence.

P3 have been working hard during Term 1 in gymnastics. Today, we explored different types of jumps and learned how to control our bodies during take-off, while in the air, and when landing safely. We focused on bending our knees and landing lightly on our feet to help us stay balanced and in control. Everyone showed great concentration and confidence as they practised their jumping skills and worked hard to improve their balance.
