Year 7 Physical Education

Year 7 students are starting Term 4 with a unit on gymnastics. In week 1 they have been familiarising themselves with the different static gymnastics shapes. They are learning about the importance of activating and strengthening the abdominal muscles in order to perform each shape correctly. 

During remote learning the students have been asked to take photos of themselves demonstrating each of the static shapes to receive feedback on their execution. 

Students have also focused on being able to transition smoothly between shapes. They have completed core challenges, focusing on holding a side support, back support, front support, scoop, and tuck scoop position. 

During the next few weeks students will have the opportunity to put together a gymnastics routine, incorporating the different static gymnastics shapes and working collaboratively with their peers. 

I look forward to welcoming our Year 7 students back on site to see the routines they have developed.
