What we did in the Leadership

Primary 5 decided to work on inside playtime to make it more enjoyable.

First we split up into groups to organise all the different jobs we had to do.

We went around the classrooms to see which rooms were available and to figure out what activities to do in each room.

The activities we decided to do in the different rooms were Just Dance, Board Games, Movie, Lego and Drawing.

We made posters for the doors to tell people what activities was in each classroom. We also made rules. We tried to make the rules positive so everyone would have fun.

We think this was really successful and people enjoyed inside playtime more.

  

This Week’s Equipment Highlights

• New Heights: One box was set higher, and another had a lower bench leading up to it, adding variety and challenge.
• Ropes Added: The ropes were introduced this week and were a huge hit with the pupils!
• Directional Changes: We included a mix of benches, beams, and tables with changes of direction to keep things interesting and engaging.

Curriculum Information P5 25-26 Term 2

Rolls, Handstands and Cartwheels

This term, all pupils will be taking part in gymnastics, starting with mat skills and progressing to apparatus work. Gymnastics is a fantastic way for children to develop confidence, coordination, and strength while working at their own level.

Mat Skills Focus:

• Balances
• Jumps
• Rolls
• Handstands
• Cartwheels

Apparatus Focus:

• Pupils will explore different equipment setups
• They’ll be encouraged to create their own ways of moving from one side to the other

This approach supports creativity, problem-solving, and physical literacy.

Everybody loves this term in the gym, so I’m sure their will be plenty to talk about when they get home.

 

PE Reminder

Please ensure pupils:

• Come dressed appropriately on PE days
• Have appropriate footwear.  Now that the weather is changing, footwear can be changed before PE.
• Have hair tied up
• Remove jewellery and watches before the session
