Athletics
The Reception children have been learning about the Olympics athletics events over the last few weeks. Today, we were learning about the different running events. We learnt that there are some important things we must do with our bodies to run well. These include keeping our heads up, eyes focused forwards and pumping our arms up and down to run quicker. Then we watched some videos of some professional athletes to help us before going outside to have a go ourselves. We did some jogging, running and sprinting across a short and longer distance.
