Our Learning in Physical Education

Prep – Gymnastics

In Physical Education this term, students have been focusing on building strength, improving flexibility, and honing co-ordination through engaging gymnastic exercises and activities. Several of these activities required a collaborative approach while working with a partner or in a small group to complete a task. Students were also asked to think about their surrounds and personal space when walking, running and crawling during games to avoid contact with others.

 

 

Year 1/2 – Gymnastics

Throughout the term in Physical Education, students have been learning about flexibility and its importance when trying to perform gymnastic positions. They were asked to rehearse a variety of gymnastic positions, which after many practice sessions, they then put a selection of these positions together to perform a mini routine. They also worked on maintaining a solid landing from a jump action and were asked to hold a strong balance when walking or crawling.
