Our January to March term in PE was very busy.  P3/4 did 4 weeks of dance, 2 weeks of handball and 6 weeks of swimming.

Dance

In our dance block, pupils explored how to use movement to express ideas. We focused on:

• Using imagination and responding to different stimuli
• Travelling, stillness, shapes, jumps and gestures
• Changing rhythm, speed, level and direction
• Repeating patterns in movement
• Showing expression and confidence

The children had great fun experimenting with creative movement and performing short sequences.

Handball

During handball, we concentrated on building sending and receiving skills and aiming. We also practised moving into space to make successful passes and talked about how handball is a fast‑paced, exciting team game.

Swimming

The pupils worked really hard developing their ability in front crawl, back crawl and breaststroke.  We also worked on water confidence skills including jumping in, going under and floating.
