2009: PE

Term 3: Fun warm up activities are a good start to our PE lessons. This term we had to listen carefully to what Mrs.Powell wanted us to do, and we had to stand in a hoop when she blew the whistle. Sometimes Mrs.Powell would tell us to "swim" in the sea, and then she would shout "SHARK" ... that's when we had to run to a hoop! It gets tricky as Mrs.Powell takes one hoop away.

We've thoroughly enjoyed Folk Dancing during the first 5 weeks of this term. Have a look at these photo's of the students participating in the Bird Dance, Frere Jacques, Boanopstekker, Choo Choo Train:

We had Gymnastics in the last 5 weeks of the term. The main focus was balance, and the students practiced balancing with only 1, 2 or 3 parts of their body touching the ground. Look at our super-stars:

We were priveleged to half an hour with an awesome cricket coach. We all called him "Coach". The ball skill activities were fun. Here we are practicing hitting a ball with a bat:

Term 2: We focused on Ball Skills: catching, throwing, rolling. We start our PE lessons with a fun obstacle course or with Parachute Activities.

Here are some photo's of one group practicing their ball skills at each station.
