We have such enthusiasm in PE that we have really been challenging ourselves to learn the names of the muscles in our bodies and the exercises we can do to make sure we warm these muscles up correctly. We can identify and use stretches to warm up our hamstrings, calves, quads and glutes! I’m sure lots of the parents have seen us cooling down as well after a Tuesday outdoor PE session.
We have all been very determined to find out more about our bodies when we exercise and so we have begun to learn about the cardiovascular system!
As it was a lovely sunny day, we went outside and worked on the yard to complete learning. We used chalk and images to complete the cardiovascular diagram! Our fitness leaders led the groups and we worked together very well. There was lots of think, pair, share going on and we really took on the teacher role! Take a look at the pictures below!
Year 2, can you comment below to explain the cardiovascular system?
