Sports day and our human pyramid

Sports Day May 2011

We had a good sports day this past Wednesday. According to my Grade 5 tradition, I wanted you to make a human pyramid(if you are not sure what this is see previous post). You can see a photo of your attempt on sports day. Thursday many of you were complaining of having a backache...hmmm...Then on Friday I find out after your PE class that you asked to make a human pyramid again! Thanks to Miss Clea I have a photo of this one too. Enjoy!

Human Pyramid

A human pyramid is a type of stunt in which several participants stand or kneel together in a row or other formation, forming a base for another tier of participants who stand or kneel on their shoulders, backs or thighs. Successively smaller tiers of participants may be added, each tier supported by the one below it. Lighter participants are placed at the top of the formation, while the strongest participants form the base of the pyramid.

Human pyramids may be performed by cheerleaders, by circus acrobats—who may perform additional tricks simultaneously, such as juggling or making the pyramid travel—or less perfectly by amateurs (often for the fun of failing and falling).
