Dodgeball

24th September 2024Laura Hamill

Crew Hamill have been developing their dodgeball skills over the last few weeks, focusing on the basic skills needed in order to successfully play a game of dodgeball in two teams. Today, we developed our skills further by working on our deflection – using one dodgeball to block a second that is being thrown towards us. We began by working in 3s with one person throwing the ball to a second person who was to deflect it towards the third person. We then put these skills to the test during some mini games. One person in each team had a ‘golden ball’ which they were not allowed to drop. Their role was to deflect any balls that came towards them. BUT, they had to be really careful because if they dropped their golden ball, they were OUT! We cannot wait to develop these skills further in our next PE session!

Scotties!

In Scotties we had to work in pairs and individually as he tested our teamwork and fitness skills. We had to complete a variety of different actives such as piggy backs, frog jumps, wheelbarrow and then a range of running activities too.

We were put through our paces in our Scotties session – not just testing our physical ability but also our ability to work in partners to communicate and accomplish goals together. Great effort Crew Mcloughlin and I am sure we will improve next session!

Farming Crew Challenges

12th September 2024Laura Godley

Today in PE we continued to develop our listening skills and working together as a crew to achieve our end goal. Our first challenge was ‘Sheep huddle’. We worked in pairs, the sheep was blindfolded whilst the farmer gave the instructions using positional language to herd the sheep into their pen. We had to think very carefully about our one step and two step instructions. We then finished off with our favourite challenge, Spiders Web. Great work again today, Crew Godley!

What do we do when we face a challenge?

5th September 2024Laura Godley

Today in PE we developed our teamwork skills, collaborating and communicating. This was key for the tricky challenges we had to complete as a crew. Our first challenge was to ‘cross the river’. The objective was to move across the river, however, we were only allowed to stand inside the hoops without touching the rest of the space on the floor. We could only move the hoops with our hands. It took a lot of communication and resilience!

Our second challenge, the spiders web! This involved a lot of planning and problem solving skills. We could only pass through each segment once, we had to explore how each crew mate could pass through each section without touching the web. I was so proud of the teamwork and resilience we displayed to achieve our goals.
