Progression in PE
The unit this half term in PE is gymnastics; Children beginning by learning about points and patches on their body which they can use to balance on. They also learn various jumps and then move on to learning to perform different types of rolls including: pencil, egg, sideways tuck, sideways shoulder, teddy bear and forward and backwards. The children then work in pairs and small groups to build a sequence of balances, jumps and rolls which are linked with ways of moving. They build their confidence in order to perform these routines in front of others.Â
The children have begun to notice the different muscles being used in gymnastics in comparison to other sports they have participated in PE. Grebes observed there are a lot more core muscles being used!Â
