Today we had a special bonus PE lesson because we had a visitor from Premier Sports come into school to teach us some fencing skills. We learnt that in fencing there are two different types of swords, one called a 'foil' and one called a 'sabre'. We also learnt that in order to fence you need to wear a mask and a vest and you need to stand in something called the 'En garde' position (with your strong foot forward, your weak foot back and pointing out, your weak arm behind your back and your sword should be in your strong hand ready to move forwards).
