Our January to March term in PE was very busy. P1/2 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
In handball, we concentrated on building ball control and throwing and catching skills.
Swimming
In the pool the pupils worked on developing their water confidence and front and back crawl. The class enjoyed the block, working hard and showing good improvements in all their water skills.
