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!
Last Friday, Crew Shields had an amazing time at the glow in the dark dodgeball. They showed some great sportsmanship and had fun while doing it.
In p.e they were practicing the ball control and then finished off with a game of tennis in pairs.
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!
I’m sure you’ve all played dodgeball before, but have you ever played it IN THE DARK?! Today, Crew Hamill and Crew Thompson were super lucky to be able to play glow in the dark dodgeball. We had so much fun!
What an exciting day we’ve had at dodgeball! It was so much fun!
We had so much fun with our PE coaches this morning! We learnt lots of new ball skills like bouncing balls and throwing balls! We worked in teams to use our ball skills to collect the pirate treasure and then counted up the treasure to see which team had won! Once we knew how to play the game, we turned off the lights and played it while we glowed! It was so much fun!
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.
Crew Marsh loved their treat of glow in the dark dodgeball today!!
