Year 1 Gymnastics points and Patches Success!

This week the Year One children completed their gymnastics theme on "Travelling and balancing on small and large parts of their bodies. They have learnt that their large parts are to be called "patches" and small parts are "points". They all did so well at learning how to balance on their "patches", that they all had a final go at learning how to balance on their shoulders. This is a difficult task and they all had a very good go at it! They also practised travelling on their points and patches which demonstrated different speeds of travelling. Finally they all had a go at balancing on their points and their partners had to travel either under or over them. The children really enjoyed and gained a lot from this unit of work.
