Hi
I’m emailing from Pennine Gymnastics Club, a large community-based gymnastics club in Huddersfield. We have been developing a series of virtual curriculum-based Gymnastics PE lessons for KS2. And are now offering this online service completely free (no strings attached), to schools who are looking after the children of key workers during these hard times.
The scheme of work is a series of 7 video lessons, lasting between 34-50 minutes. Each video lesson guides the pupils through warm up, stretch, body conditioning, and then a series of gymnastics progressions which develop into learning a full skill.
It is still in the development stage, so not all resources are working, but the scheme of work and most of the videos are now online if you wish to check it out and maybe use it to keep your pupils busy. I have included the log in details to our free account below. This free account will be made available, until September 2020 when it will be deleted.
