We've reached the end of another busy week!
Years 1 and 2 continued with ball skills. We were back in the hall. We worked really hard on controlling the ball while bouncing it. We began using two hands to bounce and two to catch, focusing on bouncing the ball just in front of our feet. Then we tried bouncing the ball while walking, firstly using two hands then trying one! We finished off with a bouncing relay.
Years 3 and 4 carried on our invasion games skills. Year 3 worked with Miss Holland and our focus was to dribble the ball with control, past our partner. We had to draw on our previously learnt skills to help us. We were also interceptors. In rotation, each group member became an interceptor whilst the other members of the group passed the ball using dummy passes. Year 4 looked at the role of the attacker and rotated around basketball, netball and football stations and our focus was quick passes to try and get the ball to an attacker without it being intercepted by a defender.
Years 5 and 6 focused on attacking. We were working on improving our movement and speed of passing, around the outside of a square, to get the best pass into the square to our attacker without the defender intercepting. We also rotated around stations of football, basketball and two netball stations, one using chest pass and the other shoulder pass. We finished off with follow the leader, bouncing the ball all together while following Mrs Jenkins' lead.
Another great week of PE again with some super performances and brilliant skills! Well done everyone!
