Fantastic Gymnastics in Reception

 We are incredibly lucky that we have coaches Chris and Ollie working with us this term in PE. The children loved their first session of Gymnastic today. 

The children learnt the positions:

Tuck , pike, straddle, dish, arch and front support and back support.

The children copied the movements well and listened well. This was the plan for the lesson but the coach was so impressed that he moved onto travelling with the children.
The children learned about balancing along a bench, beam and pulling themselves along a bench.

These skills developed their core strength, the balancing skills, their gross motor skills. 

For some they tackled their fears of jumping from a small height and all the children took in turns showing our school value of fairness! 

We are so proud of you Reception!
