We enjoyed incorporating PE into our day celebrating Diwali when we learned a dance using some traditional Indian dancing moves. We performed dance moves in a range of movement patterns.
In Tag Rugby, the children developed their handling, passing and receiving skills as well as earning tactics for the game. We worked on these skills discretely and as part of competitions between the class. It was good to see the improvement of skills and the way in which children could review and improve their performances individually and as a team.
Year 4 children have enjoyed the opportunity to develop their skills in a range of sports activities this Autumn Term. The children developed strength, balance and flexibility in Gymnastics, exploring the different shapes that they could make with their body and that are commonly used in Gymnastics. They also explored a range of ways to travel and jump, incorporating the shapes into the movements to choreograph their own routines. The children trialled some of the techniques seen in rhythmic gymnastics too, such as using balls and hoops.
