2022-24 Year 2 Blog

 Today, Year 2 were introduced to the wonderful world of sit down volleyball. The children were naturals! We had some excellent serving and even more brilliant spiking of the ball. We used a special strong balloon as our ball and it was super tricky to hit it accurately- at first! 

 Today, Year 2 looked at inclusive sports! More specifically, they had a go at boccia and new age curling. After a quick explanation of the rules, they were away and it did not take long for the children to get the hang of it. 

 For their first PE lesson back, Year 2 got their blood pumping and their muscles flexing with some energetic and intense circuits. We had squats, bicep curls and even some shoulder presses. Lots of red faces and panting after each exercise, meant that the work had been done. 💪 

 This week we looked at keeping our core muscles very tight to allows us to roll and jump. We did some familiar exercises and a new game where we had to squeeze a ball between our legs whilst we rolled.

 This week, we used the different pieces of equipment to help us practice our balances. We had to be super still and focussed to use the high balance beam. Our core muscles really got a work out.
