Prep
Welcome back Preps to term 2 learning which may look a little different from being inside the gym but it's important we stay active!
This week we are going to start our gymnastics unitof work so find a space at home, lets start by watching the video below.
Link video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q-OjkbdHnrc
Task 1: From the video make up 5 large and 5 small based balances. Remember a balance is only balance if you can hold the shape and count to 3 elephants.
Task 2: Choose your favourite large base and small based balance balances and link them together.
Parent Tip: Linking refers to moving into a new balance (please refer to video for ideas).
Task 3: Now think of a starting and finishing position. It's like making up a sentence, we start with a capital letter and finish with a full stop. Before your first balance start in a tall shape, move into your first balance, link to your second and finish low to the ground like a full stop.
Task 4: Perform your work in front of an audience.
Parent Tip: Please give feedback on the sequence work you have seen.

It is important to stay active and healthy during these times. It is recommended that students participate in 30 minutes of physical activity each day. This could include jogging, running, skipping or practicing ball skills. We have included some links with additional activities and Mrs Travis' workouts from home. (Parent Tip - the workouts can be repeated and your child can choose and decide how many repetitions of an exercise they do) . Children and parents can actively get involved and exercise together.
