In PE today, we have perfected our technique when throwing under arm and over arm. Miss Marsh set us a challenge to see if we could throw our bean bag at the target with different obstacles in the way – this meant we had to pick which throw would be more suitable.
We are all so excited that we have not got a cheerleading club running at lunchtimes. We cannot wait to see your routines!
Thankfully we were saved from the rain yesterday and had our Scotties session in the hall. This allowed children to practice their casualty rescue. Children were split into the lift crew and of course the rest had to be an injured patient. They took it in turns and learned the importance of being a team. This was put to the test when Mick was the patient however they were successful because they worked together.
We had lots of fun completing our COJO challenge this morning in Crew MW. We flew to the jungle and had to tip toe through the swamp without waking up the crocodiles! We balanced, climbed, jumped and crawled our way through the swamp, and we managed to do it without waking up any of the crocodiles! 🐊
Crew Haddock loved Scotty’s today and Sharni-Mae was Scotty’s Hero ..Well done Sharni-Mae
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!
