Dear Parents,
The first week of school after the winter break was reserved for scooter games, in
individual and paired activities. By placing different body parts on a scooter board,
students drove themselves around the gym while improving their strength and body
balance. Using hockey sticks, Second graders practiced pulling and pushing their
partners on a scooter board, driving each other safely around the gym. As all of our
students learned through this experience, scooter games can be great fun when we
all listen and follow directions carefully. This is what helped us all to “get back on a
track,” after a three week holiday, and to get ready for our next unit.
During the past three weeks we have worked on gymnastics skills.
Students reviewed the gymnastics elements they learned in previous years such as
the shoulder stand, bridge and bracelet pose.
We also practiced linking different types of rolls in a row (e.g. two forward or two
backwards rolls, or one forward and one backward) and performing a straddle roll, a
roll with legs wide apart.
Many of us learnt how to perform a headstand and handstand without teacher assis-
tance, as well as how to perform the cartwheel.
Throughout the unit we worked on improving our balance in various poses on the
balance beam, such as knee and front scales. We also practiced a variety of steps,
jumps and turns in order to link the elements and perform them with a graceful flow.
