Yesterday we went to the gym for our Christmas party games with the P3A’s.

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.

Here are pictures of our first week exploring the equipment.  We loved it and worked so hard.

We spent the first two weeks in gymnastics on the mats developing our floor skills.  We worked on balances, jumps, skills that involved our core muscles, rolls, handstands and cartwheels.  When we have the equipment out, we will have more time on the mats to continue developing these skills.

 

Racket Activities

We have spent the second half of the term doing racket activities.  We have used tennis, badminton and table tennis equipment to develop our individual hitting and basic sending and receiving with a partner.

 

Swimming

This term P3 have had their swimming block.  We focused on developing their ability in front and back crawl.  Everybody is showing great improvements in confidence and technique.  Well done.  A great block in the pool.
