Practising our fundamental skills.

We enjoyed performing our sequences using some big apparatus today. 

Year 6 have begun their unit on athletics this half term. We began by recording a baseline - measuring how good we are at jumping, running and throwing. Over the next few weeks we will improve our techniques in each of these areas.

Football skills. 

Today we were practising our overarm throwing. Everyone tried really hard and were very enthusiastic.

Watchout for Xavier and Kian playing cricket for England in the future. Their throwing skills are amazing!
