1KN Ball Skills

1KN have been busy working on their various ball skills this half term. The children have used a whole range of equipment and explored how they could make these travel to their partner. Within different activities the children have developed set sending and receiving skills including throwing and catching a small item such as a bean bag or tennis ball. 

The children learnt the technique involved in the underarm throw and used this in a variety of games. The class were brilliant at supporting one another and encouraging their classmates to keep trying. 1KN built up to using these skills in a pressurised situation where they were competing against other teams!

By developing these skills, children will be able to participate confidently in an expanse of games including rounders, cricket and tennis- perfect for the summer term!
