Welcome back after the Easter break. We hope you all had a lovely rest and are rearing to get back into learning. 5,6B were straight into their new PE unit today – basketball. A crazy game of Tig was played first to warm ourselves up and get our hearts pumping. We then split into teams to play Possession Ball. A game of tactics and interception in which your team tries to keep hold of the ball. This is a great, fast-paced game that also improves communication within a team. The children then got into pairs to refresh themselves with the different ways of passing a basketball – overhead, chest pas, bounce pass and one-handed. The children then applied these skills in some smaller games. Their throwing became increasingly accurate over the lesson.
