This week in PE, our Lower Key Stage 2 children have been developing their cricket skills, with a focus on passing, batting and teamwork. The children practised accurate underarm and overarm passing, learned how to hold and use a cricket bat safely, and worked on striking the ball with control and confidence.
Throughout the lessons, the pupils showed excellent determination and encouragement towards one another. They worked collaboratively in pairs and teams, demonstrating good sportsmanship and resilience while improving their coordination and communication skills.
