LI: To develop body movement of balance, rotation, & strength.

Today the year fives went to the hall for the second gymnastics session. The first thing that we did was get into our stretches. The types of stretches are:

1. L Shape: Lifting your arms up to the ceiling then putting you legs in front of you.

2. Seal: Putting you back straight and looking towards the floor.

3. Butterfly: Putting you feet together and flapping it up and down.

4. Cat Stretch: Stretch your back like a cat and stretching your head until you can see the wall behind you.
5. Straddle: Position your legs to face outwards like a split shape.

6. Back, Front, Side Support: Position your back to be straight and your back towards the floor with your hands pointing to your feet and do the same with the others.


After that we went on to the rotations. The rotation parts were the:
Balancing station, the Postion station, and the Strength station.

At the balancing station we had to walk backwards on a beam, do a cartwheel over a box, do the foward roll on a bench, and go over or across a small beam by doing a handstand.

At the position station we had to run up to a trampoline and do a starfish position, do the backwards roll, do the one leg/scorpion handstand, and do the 180° jump.

At the strength station we had to do a handstand, do the back/front/side support, balance of the parallel bars, and lift yourself over the bar.

I enjoyed this weeks session and I thought the cartwheel over the bar was pretty difficult to complete.
