Today we were introduced to the game of Netball during our PE lesson!
We learned some rules such as
- there are 7 players in a team
- you cannot travel with the ball
- when defending you must stand 3 feet away from your opponents
- players cannot hold the ball for more than 3 seconds and lots more!
We also revised some FUNDAMENTAL MOVEMENT SKILLS - throwing and catching. We were reminded to spread out our fingers when using the chest pass so we have better control over the ball and also the importance of stance to improve our balance! We are looking forward to more lssons to improve our skills and progressing onto playing matches!
We LOVE our new Collins Guided Reading Scheme!!!

Our Maths Challenge to Celebrate Maths Week!
During Maths Week in Y5T/D we held a competitive quiz against the other Year 5 classes - it was brilliant! We all got prepared - we designed banners and indeed a 'Haka' to perform to our competitors! At times, the competition was so tight that it had to go 'sudden death'. In the end Mrs McClimond's class won and our class came 2nd - well done Y5S!
