PE Monthly Update #3
The Year Ones have started a new unit on movement composition with the focus on gymnastics. They have explored how we can travel and been introduced to gymnastics shapes. In this unit, they will work on balance, rolls and jumps and will put together a simple circuit.
In their PMP sessions they have been introduced to forward rolls and this week they were able to climb a real ladder (with adult supervision). One of the stations is throwing and catching and it is important that they practise these skills at home.
