P5S – Gymnastics

Image result for gymnastics

In gymnastics we moved onto the equipment. In groups we are working our way around the stations and had to consider how we could use the equipment to show the movements we have been practicing. We didn’t manage to get around them all, however we will continue with the stations next week so you will have a chance to try each of them.

Here are a few action shots of you showing off your moves. Please tell someone at home what moves you are doing.

P5S – Gymnastics (2)

Today we had our second gymnastics session. We are continuing with our floor work and practicing of the main movements in gymnastics. Please tell someone at home what these movements are called.

In your groups you are creating a routine to show off all of the movements and I have to say most of the groups are taking it very seriously. Once again you were asked to ensure the transitions between moves, and group members, was as smooth as possible. I look forward to seeing your completed routines next week before we move onto the apparatus.

Here are a few (blurry) action shots from this afternoon.

P5S – Gymnastics

Yesterday we started our gymnastics sessions in P.E.. We are beginning with some floor work and looked at creating individual sequences using the four main movements in gymnastics: rotation, flight, balance and inverse.

How well did you do? Did you manage to incorporate all four moves into your sequence? How well did it flow? We definitely have some naturals among us. Next week you will be showing off your moves to everyone so during our practice session you will need to try and make the transitions between moves as smooth as possible.

Here are a few action shots from yesterday’s session. It was a little tricky to catch everyone performing their moves but I will post some more photographs next week too.

P5S – Let’s Dance

Today in P.E. you were put into groups to begin creating your very own Latin dance …….. and what fun you had! It was smiles all around (well, nearly). There was such disappointment when we finished for the day. I am so pleased that you are showing such enthusiasm for this task as I know dancing is not everyone’s favourite thing to do.

Each group has (already) come up with the starting steps for your dance which is just amazing. Well done! We even had some of our boys showing the girls in their group some fantastic moves to include.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with next week. Here are a few photographs from today’s session.

Renfrewshire Road Race

This morning, we had twenty pupils from P6-7 to represent our school for the Road Race. We met at On-X in Linwood with loads of other Renfrewshire P6-7 pupils where they ran against each other for just under 2 kilometres. Not only did our 6-7 pupils behave exceptionally well, they all did their best and ran like the wind! Congratulations to our pupils and all of the other competitors who took part.

 

P6/7 Football Team

The football team played against Bargarran in another entertaining match. Both teams tried to play good football and there were great individual and team performances for both schools.
Well done to Bargarran who edged victory with some excellent finishing and a thank you to our volunteers for making the game possible.

P5S – Let’s dance a little more ……

Image result for dancing

Our Latin dance lessons got a little harder this week. We had many more “latin” dance moves to master. Girls …… wow! You certainly picked them up well, as did a couple of our boys. Next week I think we will mix it up a little more to help some of our less enthusiastic boys to pick up the moves quicker.

Have a look at our photographs and see if you can remember some of the dance moves to show someone at home.

P5S – Fitness Fun

Image result for skipping clipart

Term 2 is the term for building our fitness. On Tuesdays we will be working out with our Latin dancing and on Fridays we will be working our way around our fitness stations. Today we had the following stations:

  • skipping
  • shuttle runs
  • ball catch
  • step ups
  • speed bounce
  • squats

In small groups you rotated around each station and completed each task for one minute. Some were much easier to do than others. As the weeks progress we will increase the time at each station to build up your fitness.

Most groups worked very well together and those groups that had a few niggles will need to work hard to sort them out. Tasks like these require all group members to work well together and you may need to compromise at times: very good life skills to learn.

Today Lucy L was in charge of music, Chloe S was our time keeper and Kieran was our photographer. Here are some of the many photographs he took today.
