This was the first PRACTICAL SESSION.

Firt of all we explored the gym and the materials that were there.

We did warm up activities like Locomotor exercises: Run/Jog around all the gym.  Run on tiptoe. Knees high.Heels up.Shuffle. Carioca. Jogging with arm circles.

Later we did warm-up the joints like ankle roll, knee roll, hip roll etc.

Also, we did stretching exercises like Shoulder pull. Pectorals stretch.Arm reach-out. Triceps stretch. Side bends. Forward lunge. Hamstring. Cuadriceps.

After these exercise we played with the parachute. 

We made different exercises:

- The big mushroom.

-The wave: ans ball roll.

-Running numbers: there are people with odd numbers and there are people with even number. So the teacher say a number and they have to run to the site of the odd number or even number.

-Run under:We say different characteristics of the people and the people who have it have to run. For example the people who are boys. And boys have to run under the parachute. 

-Popcorn game: we made two teams and the team who take off the balls win.

-Center ball : two teams; try to shake the opponent’s ball into the center pocket.

-Ball shake: two teams.

-Cat and mouse:All the people are sitting and one is the cat who is  above the parachute. And other person is the mouse who is under the parachute. So, the cat has to catch to the mouse.

OPINION

I think that all of these activities the warm-up, stretching exercise and the activity with the parachute are good for us as a teachers because we can use them in a future class with our students.
