We started the new term at PE, experiencing gymnastics for the first time.   We found out that gymnastics is all about using our body to do skills.  We learnt about the basic shapes, trying them in different positions.  We then did some flexibility exercises, noticing that the shapes are used in many different stretches.   We also performed jumps, trying the shapes in the air while learning the 5 ways we can take off and land and how to describe a jump.

• 5 ways of taking off and landing are

2 feet – 2 feet

2 feet – 1 foot

1 foot – 1 foot the same

1 foot – the other foot and

1 foot – 2 feet.

Here we are stretching and jumping.
