Note to Pupils:

Non-locomotor movements

Stretching

Stretching means making your body parts (like arms and legs) longer or reaching them as far as you can without hurting yourself. It’s like reaching up high to touch the sky or stretching your arms wide.

Bending

Bending is when you bend your body or a body part, like your waist or knees. It’s like when you bend forward to touch your toes or bend your knees to sit down.

Twisting

Twisting is turning your body or a body part, like your torso or your head, from one side to the other. It’s like twisting your body to look behind you or twisting your head to look sideways.

Swinging

Swinging is a fun movement where you move back and forth, like a pendulum. It’s like when you swing on a swing set at the playground, going back and forth in the air.
