All-Round Athletics
These photos demonstrate how pupils have honed their agility, balance, coordination and teamwork skills in different ways at Morden Mount.
Gymnastics Fundamentals - Reception
This term reception children have practiced travelling and balancing in gymnastics. The children have focused upon the basic star, stretch and tuck shape; first balancing and moving on the floor and then moving to rolls on mats. Once reception children learnt how to take out mats, we took out benches and explored moving along them. The children have enjoyed moving over, under and through platforms and the bars as well.
