Pelican Class Gymnasts

The Year Ones have really enjoyed their gymnastics lessons at the Sports Centre. Over the course of the six lessons, they have worked on a variety of skills such as balancing (on 2, 3, and 4 points) and jumping and traveling in different ways. They have also learnt how to start and finish a routine with gymnastic poise. Week by week, as the children have been developing and improving their skills, they have each worked on creating their own routine. During the last session they performed these to the class. After watching them, the children were encouraged to describe what gymnastic actions they saw, and to say why they thought they were being performed well or how they could be improved. The children had a great deal of fun and, as you can see in these two videos, they have created some superb routines.
