During term 3 the students will be involved in gymnastics during our PE sessions. We will learning different shapes, rolls and other skills which will be demonstrated through a mini performance at the end of the term.

Over the last 2 weeks the year students have enjoyed learning some new skills in gymnastics.

They are enjoying learning different shapes:

- straddle

- pike

- stretch

- tuck

They are also learning some rolls:

- pencil roll

- dish roll

- hedgehog roll

- circle roll

- elephant roll (we are still work on this)

We have also had the pleasure of Mr Horn coming in and showing us how to do the circle and elephant roll.  You might want to ask your child to demonstrate some of these at home.
