As we look to next week where we have some of our year 6 children out for a basketball tournament at Thorp Academy, let’s take a look at what the children
got up to in their basketball PE unit.
The children developed their ability to:
- dribble the ball at a jogging pace
- pass the ball with increasing accuracy
- shooting at the net
We discovered lots of tips and rules about the game too:
- dribble with our finger tips
- dribble at hip height
- use passing techniques learnt from our netball unit e.g. chest, bounce and shoulder pass
- pass and move into space
- communicate with team well
- don’t double dribble
- don’t found or snatch the ball out of an opponents hands when they have both hands on the ball
Well done to year 5 and 6!
We wish the basketball team well next week, GOOD LUCK!
