BISI badminton skills.

Our skills have improved so this week we introduced a net for our ralleys.

 Could we beat our personal best? Some pairs managed over 40 and even 50 consecutive hits in the minute.

We look forward to the BISI festival in January.

Netball league matches - 2nd round.

Thursday 12th was our next round of netball matches. First we played St.Mary's and lost 2-4. Our second match was against Barkston and we won 5-2.We played well in both matches learning as we played and getting used to all the different positions.This week we scored 7 goals with some excellent shooting from James and Alex.
Next we will be placed in a league based on our scores over the last 2 weeks.

Smiling faces proud of their achievements tonight.

Our second match was against St. Sebastians and we lost 4-1. Considering we had only had 1 netball club before these matches we did well and have learned a lot already. Mrs.Chadwick knows now what we need to improve upon befor next weeks next round of matches.

PE in class 3 - Badminton

Once a week we are practising our badminton skills.Working in teams and supporting each other at throwing ,catching and hitting the shuttle accurately.

Teams decide their level of difficulty and scoring. Points gained with shuttles landing in the hoops/ spot/ cone.

Throwing the shuttle cock for the person with the racket to return to the thrower by catching it. 

Rally time- how many in 1 minute?

Skills and accuracy have improved greatly over the last few weeks.

Bronze Sports Ambassadors

Our 4 Bronze Sports Ambassadors as voted for by their peers in class 3 attended their first traing meeting at Belton Lane School along with all the other new primary school ambassadors.They were given their T shirts and wrist bands and were introduced to their new roles.
                                     
A practical activity to decide which statements were appropriate to their roles and which were not was carried out.Once selected the statements had to put in order of importance in a pyramid with children discussing their reasons.

Our 4 worked with children from another school discussing their reasons.

Inspiring, team work, role models, friendly...all were considered.

Arthur shared the groups top 3 giving the reasons for the choices to Chris.

Next activity was to find out about this years Legacy Challenge that the Ambassadors will be launching later in the year.
