Up, Up and Away!🎈

We got the big parachute out in PE today and it was definitely a highlight of the week!

First, we talked about how to hold the parachute safely and why good listening skills are so important. Everyone had to follow instructions carefully so that we could work together as a team. It was brilliant to see such fantastic cooperation.

One of our favourite games was Popcorn. We placed beanbags in the middle of the parachute and worked together to shake it gently at first… then faster… then faster! The aim was to make the “popcorn” bounce up into the air. There were lots of giggles as we tried to keep the beanbags from popping out!

We also created a huge “mushroom”. On the count of three, we all lifted the parachute up as high as we could, stretching our arms tall. Then, in one quick movement, we brought it down behind our backs and sat underneath it. Watching the parachute float up and over us like a giant colourful mushroom was so exciting!
