Gymnastics!

This term, we have been practising our gymnastic skills in our Indoor PE lesson.

We start every lesson by warming up our bodies and increasing our heart rate.  The children love playing stuck in the mud and tag.

Our gymnastic skills started by creating different shapes with our body.  We looked at different balances including a tuck balance, a straddle balance and a pike balance.  Next we focussed on learning different styles of jumping.  First we practised performing a straight jump, a tuck jump and a star jump on mats on the floor.  Then we walked across a bench and jumped onto a mat.  We had to remember to finish our jumps by holding a gymnastics balance.
