Our first PE block of the New Year was 3 weeks of a flexibility and yoga sequence.  We learnt how being more flexible can have a positive impact on every aspect of our life.   We also learnt that flexibility is a very personal skill and it only improves with practice.

We did the same routine each week, but changed the focus.  The first time through was to learn the movement and technique of all the different actions.  The second emphasise was on developing each stretch or pose.  Thirdly we performed the routine as a flow, moving through the exercises much more fluently.  We then had time to put some of the positions and skills into practice, performing partner poses.  Here we had to use the descriptions on the cards to work out how to perform the pose.
