Term 3 - key stage 2- week 1 

this week we have been learning some new skills. We have been learning new technical elements of how to twirl / manipulate the baton in different ways with correct technique. 
 

this week we have learnt full hand twirls ( butterfly passes) as well as thumb rolls which is the beginning to the main twirling element - the thumb toss which we will be learning next week! As well as lots of other new skills. 
 

here are some videos of some of our children doing their butterfly passes and thumb rolls! How amazing are they for their first time!! So proud of all of their hard work! 

Term 3 - key stage two 

This term in baton twirling ks2 have been working on learning the basic knowledge of baton twirling.
 

The children have been doing lots of self experimenting as baton twirling is very new for lots of them! They have been experimenting with different  ways they can manipulate the baton as well as different ways they can release it to themselves or others. 

They have also learnt lots of new technical skills. And have been working really really hard to perfect these! They have learnt vertical lobs and also some rolls and passes.

In the last few weeks of this term they worked really well as a team and choreographed their own routines in small groups using the skills they have learnt. 
 

They  have really enjoyed playing the trick game at the end of each session to where they do a relay race to each complete one trick each and see which them is the fastest! 
 

Here is some of the children’s baton twirling routines that they have choreographed themselves in their teams using the skills they have learnt that they would like to share with you!
