Download or read book Primary School Gymnastics written by Lawry Price and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2013-08-21 with total page 170 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is designed to help teachers develop well-structured and progressive programs of gymnastics activities for primary-aged children (3-11 years). In gymnastics, children learn not only how their bodies move and how body parts work in co-operation with other parts, but they are also able to develop awareness of space and a sense of control. Practical Primary Gymnastics presents themed activities appropriate for infant, junior and upper junior levels, and shows how teachers can plan to use these in structured themes of work. The activities aim to broaden children's abilities in: jumping and landing skills; rolling actions; taking weight on different body parts; using a range of traveling actions; and working at floor level and using gymnastic apparatus at varying heights. Gymnastics is a fundamental part of the PE curriculum. This book offers practical help for teachers in this vital area and focuses on enabling individual children to succeed at their own level.
Download or read book Teaching Developmental Gymnastics written by Garland O'Quinn and published by . This book was released on 1990 with total page 218 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Agility, balance, and coordination are important for all children, not just the athletically inclined. With this in mind, Garland O'Quinn has prepared a series of gymnastic activities that every child can learn at home or in school. Many of the activities in this book can be performed on the living-room floor, since the stunts are not dangerous nor do they require complicated gymnastics equipment. This instructional book is organized in easy-to-follow steps for children aged 3 to 11 and is designed for use by anyone interested in the physical development of children--parents and teachers alike. The activities are illustrated by sequential pictures to make the movements clear and easy to understand. The author, an Olympic gymnast, has refined these activities during twenty-five years of teaching gymnastics to children and has included the latest educational theory emphasizing the value of kinesthetic stimulation in a child's education. Developmental Gymnastics brings kinesthetic input to its highest level, stimulating the right and left sides of the brain to ensure a fuller and more complete integration of the child's perceptions. Teaching Developmental Gymnastics is O'Quinn's second book, successor to the immensely popular Developmental Gymnastics, which has been adopted by school districts around the country and is based on years of study of motor and sensory development. This new book continues his dedication to allowing each child to move at his or her own pace, relieving youngsters of restricting competitive physical education and making success a built-in factor.

Download or read book Gymnastics of the Mind written by Raffaella Cribiore and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2005-02-13 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is at once a thorough study of the educational system for the Greeks of Hellenistic and Roman Egypt, and a window to the vast panorama of educational practices in the Greco-Roman world. It describes how people learned, taught, and practiced literate skills, how schools functioned, and what the curriculum comprised. Raffaella Cribiore draws on over 400 papyri, ostraca (sherds of pottery or slices of limestone), and tablets that feature everything from exercises involving letters of the alphabet through rhetorical compositions that represented the work of advanced students. The exceptional wealth of surviving source material renders Egypt an ideal space of reference. The book makes excursions beyond Egypt as well, particularly in the Greek East, by examining the letters of the Antiochene Libanius that are concerned with education. The first part explores the conditions for teaching and learning, and the roles of teachers, parents, and students in education; the second vividly describes the progression from elementary to advanced education. Cribiore examines not only school exercises but also books and commentaries employed in education--an uncharted area of research. This allows the most comprehensive evaluation thus far of the three main stages of a liberal education, from the elementary teacher to the grammarian to the rhetorician. Also addressed, in unprecedented detail, are female education and the role of families in education. Gymnastics of the Mind will be an indispensable resource to students and scholars of the ancient world and of the history of education.
