Cricket in class 3

On Tuesday class 3 welcomed Mat a cricket coach from Grantham Cricket Club.Luckily the weather stayed fine so we enjoyed 1 1/2 hours of cricket skills and games.

                                        First Mat wanted to assess our catching skills.

2 handed throwing and catching then 1 handed.

How many could each pair do in 1 minute?

Next throwing at the stumps with a wicket keeper rolling the ball back.

First team to hit the stumps 3 times were the winners.

Next :hit the stumps and remove a stump, winning team first to remove all 3 .Hitting just 1 stump was not easy!

Next for a game- 4 bats and if someone was out a bat was lost until the team was bowled as no one could get a bat back to their player in time!

The final activity involved Mat hitting the ball high in the air- if we caught it= 1 point to us, if we dropped it= 1 point for Mat.Winner= first to 10.We won with some very good catching from Arthur and a few others.
