Fitness Fortnight – Fencing and Zumba !

Today , the P1s were veeeeeeeery busy as part of  ‘Fitness Fortnight’  In the morning, the boys and girls learnt all about fencing.  It was so much fun! We learnt that long ago everyone was taught how to fight using swords as there were no police officers to keep us safe from harm so when people fought they used to do so using swords ! We were shown lots of different kinds of swords that were used long ago including a knight’s sword, a pirate’s sword and a long sword.  We even got to have a shot of holding them.  They were might heavy !

We also got a shot at sparring with the practise swords.  We learnt how to stand properly, how to hold the sword in safe mode and how to keep ourselves safe whilst wearing the protective equipment.  A special thanks to Gordon from ‘Fencing is Fun’

In the afternoon, we welcomed Nina from ‘Zumba Kids Nina’.  She showed us some cool moves and we danced the afternoon away with a dance off and other dances.  It was fantastico! Thankyou to Nina for coming along to help us. Dancing certainly keeps you fit !
