Friday 7 November 2025 Gymnastic Geniuses This week the children began their new PE topic - Gymnastics. I taught them different gymnastic stretches including the pike, star and dish. Many of the children knew these stretches as they attend gymnastic classes outside of school. I was incredibly impressed by the team work and focus they showed during the lesson. The children supported and helped each other to get into the correct position. There was a real show of resilience as children found some of the stretches challenging, but persevered and were so proud when they achieved!
