Today in P.E. we focused on our Invasion Games unit by practising our handball skills and focusing on our character value of Determination. We began by modeling and practising how to send and receive a ball using both a one-handed pass and a bounce pass. To perform these successfully, we followed specific techniques. When receiving, we kept our eyes on the ball and held our hands in a "W" shape to safely bring the ball in. In groups of 4 or 5, we stood in a semi-circle and practiced "Pepper Pot". One child acted as the leader, passing to each classmate in turn, who then passed the ball back. We rotated roles so everyone had a chance to practice both one-handed and bounce passes.
