Lesson: Physical Development

PE

Today's PE lesson was gymnastics, we really wanted to do this outside on the field but the sun was just far too hot for us so we moved our classroom around and got on with it! And we got on with it fantastically, I have a class of talented gymnasts! We started off our warm up by using our bodies to form letters of the alphabet (t, v, o, I and w) some we could do solo but for others we needed to work with a partner.

we then moved on to making the PE shapes Pike, straddle, tuck, straight, star. Some we did sitting down and some we did standing up. We found the tuch shape too difficult to do standing up HAHA!

After that we had a go at finding a partner and taking turns to choose a shape for our partner to mirror us. This was a fantastic way to show understanding of the names of the gymnastic shapes. We have learned some new vocabulary in PE this week; Flexibility, Agility, Position, Strength and Balance!

We have been learning all about body tension and control. We have been using these skills whilst creating pencil rolls. We help organise equipment so that we can learn about health and safety and also have more time enjoying our lessons.
