Balance! Now hold it…
Last Wednesday, both year 6 enjoyed their first gymnastics lesson where they explored the two different types of balances: point and patch.
Through communication, cooperation and a great deal of effort, each pair classified a range of solo and paired balances into the two categories, making sure to hold their balances for at least five seconds.
To conclude the session, each group were asked to create their own sequence complete with two patch and two point balances. The audience then critiqued the performers based on their synchronisation, variety of balances and showing a clear beginning and ending to their sequence. Awesome effort from all groups!
