Mastering Balance in Gymnastics: Learning Points and Patches in PE

In PE, the children in Year 4 have been developing their balancing skills through an engaging gymnastics unit. The focus of the lessons has been on balancing using points, the narrower parts of the body, and patches, the larger and wider parts of the body. The children explored a variety of balances, experimenting with different combinations to achieve stability and control. By understanding how to distribute their weight effectively, they are not only improving their physical coordination but also building core strength and confidence. This foundation in gymnastics will continue to support their overall physical development throughout the year.
