Y6 were developing their practical skills in Athletics!
Year 6 have been learning how to perform a scissor kick to clear an obstacle in Athletics. They worked on how to use their arms to generate more height and how to bend their knees to launch off and control their landing. They explored jumping over the barrier using their left foot first and then their right foot first. When they were confident at how best to approach the barrier, they started to include a curved run-up. By the end of the lesson their scissor kick technique had improved hugely and they were clearing much higher barriers than at the start of the lesson. Well done Y6!
