Year 4 has been practicing their bowling skills again by throwing the ball to their teams, before they started practicing using their bats. In the last 20 minutes of the PE session, year 4 got into groups where there was a bowler, a batter, a wicket keeper and 2 fielders and they played a mini games of cricket. They were fantastic in their practice!
As part of striking and fielding the children developed their bowling skills working on under arm and over arm throwing. #LovePlover
Today year 6 had been learning ball skills for cricket. After observing how to bowl a ball, they practiced this by trying to hit the wicket and catch the ball. They then learnt how to use the bat and practiced swinging it to hit the ball to the bowler. At the end, year 6 played a mini game of cricket, batting the ball to the fielders. Well done year 6 for great practice today!
A new term meant a new sport to learn the skills of and this term, year 4 are going to be learning how to play cricket/rounders. Today, they spoke about how to hit the wicket by bowling the ball. They practiced that and worked with each other to improve their throwing and bowling skills. Next, the bats came into play and after being shown how to properly hold the bat, the teams played small games of cricket where the aim was to hit the wicket. They worked incredibly hard today!
Last expeditions POL, enjoy…
We Care Crew we learnt about the positive benefits of exercise physically but more importantly mentally. We worked out our guiding question. We developed our ball skills in PE!
