In Scotty’s this morning, we continued to work on developing our teamwork skills. First, we had a warm up game where we worked as a team to reach the other side. Then, we had a go at making a stretcher to help rescue injured people. This required working as a team as we had to make sure we lifted at exactly the same time. We were all so pleased with our efforts today and can’t wait to take these skills onto the field.
We have been continuing to work on our ball skills during PE this week. We began by rolling the ball to our partner who used their foot to stop it before passing it back by kicking it. Once we were feeling more confident, we then moved on to passing the ball with our feet, trying to increase the distance between us and our partner. We then built on this by dribbling the ball around the hall, stopping at the cones to pass the ball to our partner between them before continuing to another pair of cones. We worked really hard to keep the ball controlled when moving around the hall and we did a great job of working well together.
Some of Crew Hamill were lucky enough to be chosen to take part in a boxing class this afternoon. We had so much fun and Miss Hamill was super impressed with how strong our punching skills were!
This week we have been looking at ball skills, in particular dribbling. We talked about what dribbling is and how it gives you more control over the ball. We practised this by working with a partner to dribble the ball towards each other, making sure that we were keeping it controlled as we moved.
We then played a game where half of the crew had to stand with their legs apart (this made a rainbow) and the other half of the crew had to dribble the ball (the sun) around the hall. As we were dribbling the ball, we had to carefully direct the ball through the rainbows to try and score as many points as possible. We showed really good control of the ball during this game!
There was lots of fun had today in our Scotty’s sesson. Children had an inflatable assault course which they tired themselves out on.
WOW!!! What an amazing surprise we had this morning! We were privileged to get to go on the bouncy castle and burn off lots energy. We had lots of fun!
MI have continued to work on the skills needed for a game of dodgeball 🙂
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.
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.
