Herons are working hard in their Invasion Games unit in PE, learning to attack and defend territory and create space for teammates in football. These same skills can be applied in other invasion games like basketball, tag rugby and handball.

Balancing Skills
Coots working on balancing skills in PE.
Herons PEÂ
Take a look at Herons’ indoor PE unit with Mr Ward using balancing, movement and bodyweight. After practising and performing different balances by themselves, they have honed their skills to perform with a partner in various positions. You can see the concentration on their faces as they experiment with different poses and positions!
Grebes PE – The Haka
In Dance, children are learning the Haka, a dance made famous by the New Zealand rugby team. We watched the All Blacks performing this legendary challenge.
And then had a go ourselves!
Which is more intimidating?
Bitterns Gymnastics
This half term the children will be learning gymnastics in PE with Mr Ward. They have already had two sessions and have really enjoyed learning the different types of rolls such as a sausage roll and a blunt pencil roll. When talking to the children it was lovely to hear them using a brilliant vocabulary to describe their learning.
‘A point is a small part of your body’- Freddy Yr1
‘A patch is easier to balance on because it is bigger than a point. A patch is a bigger part of your body like your tummy or back.’ -Jack Yr2
Kingfishers PE
Kingfishers demonstrate all they have learnt from PE lessons this term. Demonstrating coordination, spatial awareness, tactical thinking and perseverance! And having a great time cheering on their teams!!
Herons PE Spring 2022
We have developed sequences in gymnastics, sometimes mirroring our partners, sometimes doing the opposite and trying to copy each other exactly with movements.
