During their PE, this week we have been taking on the role of Marionettes. As a class, prior to the session, they looked at a series of images to support our understanding of what this toy was. The children then worked in our pairs to replicate this through dance. Sitting on the floor they took their starting position with their hands on the floor and head rolled forwards. They then imagined there was a string attached to their wrist and lifted up their hand slowly without moving any other part of our body. We kept our fingers loose before dropping our hand back down to the floor slowly. Then they repeated this with their left hand and then both together. The children imagined moving their head from side to side and their legs in a similar way to their arms. Once they had grasped this, theythen created a short dance phrase linked to these movements.

Team of the Week – Team AF for excelling in every Hockey lesson.
Star of the Week – Jenin in Team AF for always trying his absolute best in all PE lessons. PE Team of the week - Team EO for always participating well in PE lessons!
PE Star of the week – Alex in Team EO for always giving 100% in his PE lessons and showing great enthusiasm and effort. This week the children worked really hard in small groups to perform entrances and exits safely using apparatus. The children ensured they had squashy knees and hands out in front when landing / jumping up, over and from apparatus. They also followed the teaching points of Entrance: Feet together, neutral (straight body), extended arms above head. Exit: Feet together, neutral (straight body), extended in front, line with shoulders. They were superstars and really enjoyed the session.
During PE sessions this week, Team CB have been continuing to work on their new topics in Dance and Games. In Dance, their theme for this half term is Toys. They have started to embody different toys to help us consider the different ways they move. This week our focus was to explore how to be a robot. The children were great at considering the way they needed to create straight lines and stiff movements to replicate the toy. The children created short dance phrases once they had considered a variety of movements.
In their Games session, the children have been working on kicking skills; underarm and overarm throwing; sending and receiving a ball and a range of striking and gathering skills. Over the coming weeks they will have the opportunity to apply striking and gathering skills into small sided games. Team JD used all the skills that they have learnt over the last few weeks. The children created a Bollywood routine and absolutely smashed it. Their lines and movement were on point and in time with the music.
PE Team of the Week - Team JF for showing encouragement to others!
PE Star of the week – Oakleigh in Team JF for always helping to set up and put the PE equipment away! This half-term Team EO have been working on basic games skills with emphasis on spatial awareness when in motion, maintaining balance when in motion and ball skills. We have worked hard to improve our fundamental movement skills - agility, balance and coordination and to develop our ball skills of rolling, bouncing and catching.
In PE we concluded our fireworks dance topic this week where the children put together their own mini routines based on all the skills they have acquired over the half term. The performances the children created in pairs were fantastic to watch.
This half term Team JF have been working incredibly hard to learn dance routines with a theme of fireworks. This week the children had the opportunity to put all of their hard work to use and perform their routines to the rest of the class. The children were amazing at this! Their timing, pace and moves had been carefully considered and they blew me away!
