Dynamic, determined dodgeball 🏐🤾

1st February 2024Kate Thompson

In PE we have been learning all the different skills needed in a game of dodgeball. This week we have began to think tactically and apply this to a game. To be successful in this lesson we need to play fairly using the rules of the game and show honesty and admit if you are out. To warm up we played “Catch stuck in the mud”. Two pupils were taggers with a ball. If pupils were hit below the shoulder with a live ball they stood in place. Two pupils were ‘free-ers’ with a ball each. Stuck players could rejoin the game when passed to by a free-er. We really enjoyed this game and continued to practice our throwing skills. We then put this into practice and played a mini game of dodgeball.

Scotty’s 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️

Yesterday, Crew Hamill had their memory skills put to the test when they took part in a group game at Scotty’s. In mini crews, we had to remember a message and pass it on to our crew mates without forgetting any of the words. The last person in our crew had to relay the message back to the Scotty’s leader and we got a point for every word we remembered! This was tricky enough, but we also had to take part in an obstacle course that was designed to distract us and make us forget.

PE – Crew MW ❄️

31st January 2024Sarah Mcglone

We have been looking at our throwing skills in PE. We were introduced to over arm and under arm throws. So that we could practice both of these throws, we threw imaginary snowballs! We split into 2 groups and, with the help of some very kind children from Crew Marsh, completed two different activity stations. One station required us to use the over arm throw to hit the wall from a certain distance, the other station needed us to use the under arm throw to get the beanbag into the hoop target.
