Hello!
Just a quick note about PE lessons....
Judo has been a big success for years 5 & 6. We are coming to the end of our unit Feb. 12, so they are starting to put together their Judo composition for final exam. In year 3, the students have enjoyed karate. For some, a basic introduction and for others who have been in karate class before, a good review. All other classes have been doing gymnastics. We have worked on such skills as: log rolls, forward and backward rolls, balance beam, cartwheels, balancing and tri-pods. The next two weeks we will finish the unit with gymnastic stations and adding a sequence of skills.
