Governors meet School Council

Year 5 lessons

Taekwondo comes to Shire Oak!

Our school is very multi-cultural and year 4 council thought it would be a good idea to do a sport from another country.

Taekwondo is about training the brain and the body at the same time and learning how to focus and concentrate. Taekwondo is fromKoreaand the word taekwondo means the art of kicking and punching.

On Tuesday the twenty first of February 2012 a taekwondo teacher called Carl came to year 5 to take part in year 5’s P.E.

First we did a basic warm up which included push-ups, sit ups and squat thrusts. Then we

learned how to do a basic kicking move. To do this we used special kicking equipment to kick at. Finally we showed respect to Carl by a special bow.
