We’re looking forward to finishing them this week and comparing them to Steven
Primary 5 have enjoyed progressing their ‘mirror, match and in canon’ movements onto the apparatus. They worked with a partner on different pieces of equipment to show a variety of balances and skills. The wall bars were certainly popular!! Well done children 🙂
