This week a highlight was in gym, Our learning intentions for gymnastics were; 

• I can balance my body in different ways using different body parts.
• I can move safely through space while doing gymnastics activities.
• I can create different body shapes at high, medium, and low levels.
• I can show control when rolling, rocking, and balancing.
• I can use strong and safe body movements during gymnastics.
• I can travel in different directions using gymnastics movements.
• I can demonstrate body awareness while moving on mats and equipment.
• I can follow safety rules during gymnastics activities.
• I can try challenging movements using my personal best effort.
• I can combine movements to create a simple gymnastics sequence.
• I can cooperate respectfully with others during gymnastics activities.
• I can describe how physical activity makes my body feel.
