We have started the year in PE with spatial awareness activities, learning to use the space safely while the class are moving freely around.  We learnt what being in a space means and how to stay in a space while moving.  We have also focused on movement.  We used different stimulus like Mr Men, animals and Beans to respond to instructions and move in different manners.   Here are some examples of the ways we have moved –

Mr Men – Mr Rush moved fast, Mr Noisy moved making a lot of noise, Mr Jelly wobbled like a jelly and Mr Muddle moved backwards.

Beans – Jumping Bean jumped, runner bean ran, Mr Bean moved in a silly manner and frozen bean froze like a statue.

Animals – Horses galloped, kangaroos jumped and frogs jumped from a crouch position.

 

As part of the block we had to navigate a circuit of equipment requiring balance, coordination, changes of height and direction and creativity.  This seemed to be a big hit with some great ideas of how to get from one side to the other.
