Hopefully over the course of the topic on Materials we will be able to find out the answers to your questions.

In Indoor PE this half term we are doing gymnastics. We will be exploring different ways to travel across the floor and using apparatus.This video shows Beth Tweddle winning European Gold in Birmingham in 2010. Can you steal any of the moves or the positions?

During our outdoor PE session we will be developing our Cricket skills. Over the last week the media has been full of information about cricket and in particular the Ashes. The Ashes is a test series between England and Australia. The rivalry dates back to 1882. The whole nation is jubilant because for the first time in 24 years the England Cricket team will return from a tour of Australia still in possession of the Ashes. Andrew Strauss (England Captain) will bring a tiny urn back to England. The tiny urn is reputed to contain a burnt cricket ball. Go team England!

Go to this website to watch different members of the England team demonstrate different cricket skills.
