Year 3 PE

During this half term, the theme explored in our Physical Education (PE) curriculum has been 'Machines'. In Year 3, our focus has been on selecting and linking appropriate actions and dynamics to convey our dance ideas related to this theme. The children have been encouraged to consider the effective use of space around them, incorporate actions that represent a machine breaking down, and maintain synchronised counts to stay in time with their group.

In this week's lesson, Year 3 pupils were organised into groups to devise a sequence of 8 actions that symbolised a functioning machine. Each group performed their sequence four times, considering whether their machine would malfunction gradually or all at once. Furthermore, the children engaged in discussions to collectively determine which ideas to incorporate that would benefit the entire group. It was inspiring to see Year 3 attentively listen to their peers' suggestions as a team.
