As part of our active schools process we are required to choose one area of the PE curriculum to focus on developing. As a staff we have chosen the gymnastics strand. One way we are achieving this is by purchasing new resources to help us deliver the curriculum fully. Thank you so much to the PA who kindly bought a vaulting horse, crash mat and spring board for the school.
We have also had Zara visiting us to teach pilates to 3rd - 6th classes. Pilates is great for developing core strength and balance which are important for gymnastics. Junior infants to 2nd class will be availing of these lessons after Easter.
Finally we have arranged for a teacher from Rathdrum Gymnastics Club to visit and provide the teacher with some specific training in delivering the gymnastics strand.
