Today in PE, we practised our balancing and jumping skills for gymnastics. We’ll be focussing on gymnastics in our Wednesday PE lessons for the next half-term.
In today’s lesson we worked together to create a range of balances before learning how to do a headstand. We’re not quite there yet but we have a much better understanding of the technique needed to perform this tricky balance. We also know how to do this safely – even how to fall safely if we lose our balance. Some of us could already perform a headstand so we acted as coaches to help everyone else through the various stages of a headstand.
A word of caution – don’t try this at home!
