This week we all started our new topics in PE. WE are now learning about fitness.
Each class had a chat about what the word ‘fitness’ means to them. Each class mentioned a healthy diet and exercise. We talked about different types of fitness and discussed if we had a favourite way to exercise.
Primary 5 warmed up by stretching and going for a jog. They then worked different muscle groups through exercises. They worked with partners to do 10 sit ups at a time – the partners held their feet down to make sure the sit up was effectively working the abdominal muscles. They then worked their chest, arm and shoulder muscles by doing press ups – they chose which type of press up they were most comfortable with. They moved on to trying out burpees, mountain climbers, and finally, they ended with a plank competition!
