Week 4 Gymnastics

We had a few changes to the equipment this week.  The wide box was a section higher, the narrow beam came after the wider benches and at the frame, the ropes were out.  When discussing the equipment set up, we spoke about changes of height, direction and width.

Here we are in action.

Gymnastics week 1-3

We have been busy in the gym doing gymnastics.  We started on the mats developing our floor skills, focusing mainly on rolls, handstands and cartwheels.  We have had one week of the equipment, where we explored all the different stations.

 

Hockey

We have finished the term in PE with Hockey.  We continued to develop our basic stick skills and play in small sided games.  We followed the rules of

  • use the flat side of the stick
  • The ball cannot touch the feet

Ask your child about the block and how they got on.

PE Reminder

Rugby

Our first PE block was rugby.  We spent time getting used to the shape of the ball, how to pass and having to pass backwards.  We also played in small sided games learning the structure of this game.
