Year 5 and 6 have been using their chemistry knowledge of materials, and their properties, to help develop skills in PE lessons.
We have been using a variety of equipment (made from different materials) in our games and exercises. After feeding back our thoughts of the sizes, shapes and properties of the materials, we agreed the best and worst equipment to suit each task. Turns out it’s not easy to throw a rugby ball into a basketball hoop!
Pupils have thoroughly enjoyed exploring this aspect, using their inside learning in their outside activities.
