This afternoon in our PE lesson, we developed our dodging skills to avoid being hit. The two things we needed to be successful today were keeping our head up to see the throwers and standing in the ready position with your knees bent ready to move. First, we practiced in partners dodging, ducking and jumping out of the way of the ball. Then, we had a bigger game of dodgeball. We were able to put our dodging skills into practice. It was fantastic to see the children playing by the rules and being honest if they got hit.

This afternoon Crew Thompson started dodgeball in PE. We focussed on developing our aim as this is a key component in a dodgeball game. We first had a hoop on the floor that we had to aim for. Then this progresses to picking the hoop up and moving it. We discussed how the throw would change depending on speed and distance. We can’t wait to keep developing our dodgeball skills and eventually play a huge game! 🏐

What a fantastic last football PE lesson we have had today. We have been able to put all our skills into practice and play some tournaments. It was great to see the children so involved with their learning and watch them try to implement their skills. We definitely have some football superstars in Crew Thompson.
