Fitness!

9th June 2024Kate Thompson

In PE, we started our new unit fitness. Our aim was to understand how balance helps us in everyday life. To warm up, we played snakes and tunnels. When I shouted “snakes” we wiggled the ropes low to the ground. The children had to jump over the ropes. When I shouted “tunnels” we lifted the ropes up high. Children had to duck underneath the ropes. We then moved onto skills development and looked at balance in everyday life. In groups of 3, we had to complete an activity for 2 minutes and then swap over. The activities were skipping, lifting a hoop above our heads and then back to the floor, and stand on 1 foot whilst balancing a beanbag on our heads. We then looked at better balancing, and completed a range of activities. The first activity was standing in a line and standing on one foot. We passed the beanbag down the line and then hopped to join the end. We then had to reach the other side by lifting the hoop over their teammates head and placing it infront of them. They then had to jump back into the hoop. As part of the plenary, we discussed how we use balance in everyday life.

Crew MW – PE

4th June 2024Sarah Mcglone

In PE this week, we started looking at fundamentals, starting with balancing. We imagined we were tightrope walkers at the circus and began by practising walking in a straight line with our arms outstretched to the side. We then used a balance beam to walk across, concentrating on how we could stay balanced. Some of us were a little apprehensive about this beforehand, but as a crew we encouraged everyone to have a go and we were all successful!

Rounders

17th May 2024Laura Hamill

Crew Hamill have continued building their rounders skills this afternoon. We warmed up by practising our underarm throwing technique, throwing the ball with accuracy to our partners. We then practised added in some batting skills, with one partner bowling and one batting then swapping. Following this, we used this skills in a mini game. We split into two teams – one batting and one fielding. We then played a mini game, focusing on the rules as we went along. We had so much fun and were very grateful for the warm weather which meant we could do it outside!

Developing our fielding techniques!

17th May 2024Kate Thompson

In our rounders lesson, we have worked on developing our fielding techniques. We first practiced scooping up the ball two hands and then throwing it overarm back to the bowler. We then practiced some ball skills and worked on our catching. We noticed it was really important to keep an eye on the ball and watch it at all times. We then practiced the short barrier which helps us when fielding. We had to turn our foot sideways behind our hands to provide an extra protection so if we not grab it with our hands our foot will stop it. We then applied this in a mini game of rounders.
