Boxercise in PE with Sophie Allen.

This week Sophie Allen from Inspire+ came to lead our first boxercise session.We were really excited to learn about this new activity. Fist Sophie talked about the safety expectations of her sessions and then we quickly learned how to take guard, left jab and right jab and how to stand correctly.

Next Sophie explained how to use the gloves and pads and when/ when not to punch.

Partners helped to fasten the gloves tightly.

Pads facing inwards means no punching allowed.Grey spots mean aim and jab.

Next activity...

Children with pads had to stand in a space and star jump until another child came to them and then they had to complete 20 quick left, right jabs and then move to another partner.

Star jumps kept children active all the time and also helped the gloved children find a new partner.

But that's not all.... now for ' burpies.'

And finally time to cool down...

and stretch.

More next week...great work from everybody and great fun too.
