We are learning a new sport this half term -hockey!
The children were very excited to be introduced to the game of hockey. They were even more excited to be able to use some brand new equipment! We played some warm up games first to get us warmed up and our hearts pumping faster – we love these!
The hockey sticks were handed out and our first job was to make sure we could grip the sticks accurately. The children were then allowed to explore with the hockey stick and a ball. This allowed the children to get used to handling the ball.
They then worked in pairs to learn how to pass accurately with the ball and by the end of the session they were much better and even played a game of possession ball.
