P3 Athletics

3rd Jun 2026

P3 have been enjoying Athletics in PE. This week they learned the basic skills of long jump. They focused on improving their jumps by bending their knees and moving their arms backwards and then forwards to create momentum. They then progressed to adding a run up to help increase their distance. Next week, we will be measuring the distances together!

The children showed great enthusiasm and determination as they practised their technique. They worked hard to coordinate their movements and showed good progress in both control and confidence. After, they were keen to watch professionals take part in the event from previous Olympic Games!
