We have had a very busy few weeks in PE and sport in school!
PE News
In reception we have been working hard on target throwing using nets, hoops and cones to aim for and discovering different ways of throwing. We have also been exploring different ways of moving.
In KS1 we have continued our work with our racket skills and progressed this week to hitting and aiming for targets.
In KS2 the children took part in their Tennis Intra-house competitions this week, playing doubles matches against children from different house groups.
