More cricket in class 3.

Another session with coach Matthew saw us practising our throwing and catching, over arm throwing and batting skills.

tips from the expert

Our final game in 2 teams was to catch the 2 tennis balls hit simultaneously in the air- if both were dropped then the other team swapped in.

How many points could be scored by catching the ball without both being dropped.

All change.

Excitement was rising with some sky- high catches.

All desperately trying to catch the ball!

Hands on head means someone missed the catch!

Another great session.

Cross Country

Year 3/ 4 had their annual cross country race at the Meres on Thursday. 17 children, a full team of 10 girls and 7 boys chose to compete running 1.5km with over 130 other children in each race.

The girls team.

Our top 3 were: Mathilda 6th,Elspeth 17th and Annie 20th. 

All our team completed the race - well done girls.

The boys team.

Our top 3 places were: Sash 25th,Sam 28th and Harry 43rd. Again all boys finished the course.

Lots of year 3 children so that bodes well for next year- keep running everyone.

Cricket week 2

Unfortunately our coach could not come this week but we still had cricket as the weather was sunny and I love my cricket!
Warm up games of throwing and catching- 14 tennis balls between 28 children.

Now in pairs in 2 teams snaking the ball up the field without dropping it. If dropped the team has to start again!

Success so 2 ball are used- not easy so we will be doing that again another week!

Next- repeating last weeks activity of aiming at the stumps with first to hit 3 times as winners.

Another game of 5 bat cricket.

A super afternoon with lots of great skills shown.
