For P.E. primary 1 have really enjoyedworking on Learning through Exploration. This involved learning to control a ball with hands and feet while sharing space. To throw and catch a beanbag on their own and with a partner. To aim and throw at a target and to travel on, off and under benches and mats.
These activities are designed to give the children fun opportunities to develop their spatial awareness and coordination.
Primaries 2, 3 and 4 have been working hard on first level experiences and outcomes in gymnastics.
By focusing on a number of skills such as; rotation, balancing, jumping, inversion and sequencing the children have developed ways to match these to actions and create movement patterns and sequences.
Primaries 5, 6 and 7 have been fully engaged in second level experiences and outcomes in gymnastics.
Here the learning focus has been on analysing sequences and giving feedback while developing their understanding of how they relate to their partner while working together.
Working to a set criteria the children have developed skills in group cooperation and sequencing as well as improving balance and fitness.
