Physical Education in Year 1

This week in PE, Year 1 began our new Sending and Receiving unit!

We started our lesson with a fun warm up to get our bodies moving and ready for some exciting games.

We then put our skills to the test by playing handball! The children worked in teams and competed against one another to score as many goals as possible. However, there was a twist! The children could only take three steps with the ball before they had to pass it to a teammate.

Throughout the game, the children practised their sending skills by passing the ball accurately to their teammates and their receiving skills by moving into space and catching the ball. They also worked on defending against the opposing team and developed their teamwork and communication skills as they worked together to score goals. While waiting for their turn to play, the other teams continued practising their passing and catching skills together.

It was a fantastic start to our new PE unit, and everyone showed great enthusiasm and teamwork.

Well done, Year 1!
