We have been doing volleyball in PE.  We started the block doing some exercises that involved us tracking, moving and collecting the ball.  Next we used beach balls to learn the 2 main volleyball passes.  We finished the block playing games over the very high net, trying to get used to passing the ball over the height and catching a high ball.

In PE we have been doing games and activities that involved team work and cooperation.

In PE we started the term with Table Tennis.  The main focus was on developing our hitting ability, trying to get the ball to bounce on our opponents side of the table.  To achieve this, we looked at holding the bat correctly, turning our feet to hit the shot and bringing the bat up and forwards towards the ball.

P6B joined us today for our Christmas party games.  Here we are in action.

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.

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 and our flexibility.  We have had one week of the equipment, where we explored all the different stations.

In PE we have been doing basketball.  We have been following the rules of no contact, no dribbling after stopping and 2 steps with the ball.  We finished the block with games outside so had to play with adapted goals, shooting into hoops.  We did get plenty of chances to practice out shooting inside in other weeks.
