Week 6 Gymnastics

This was our last week of gymnastics.  The class have loved this block, especially the equipment.  Everyone has worked so hard.  We have seen lots and lots of learning taking place including balance and control, co-ordination, gross motor skills, core stability, strength, flexibility, stamina and confidence, as well as less obvious aspects like respect and tolerance, decision making and prioritising.  A great block with so much effort put in.  Well done P1B.

Here we are exploring this weeks equipment.

More excitement this week in the form of a trampette.  This is a miniature trampoline that you use like a springboard.  The pupil steps on and jumps off showing a 1 foot-2 feet-2 feet foot pattern.  Other changes included a double bar, a high bench, a high ladder, obstacles on the beam, the springboard beside our long box and the wide box was another block higher.

Here we are in action.

Busy, busy! Too busy!

This term we have been working very hard to get ready for our Christmas show at the end of the term. We started by learning all the songs and then we had to learn lots of speaking parts too! For the last few weeks we have been practicing on the stage and we are really excited to perform to our school community and our families on Tuesday 12th December.

We don’t want to give too much away, but it’s going to be great!

P1B are loving the gym equipment.

Week 2  saw a different set up for the pupils to explore.  The main differences were we had the ropes out, included a change of direction, the wide box was slightly higher and the bench up to the long box was flat and lower.

Here are some pictures of us working.
