Friday afternoon was full of energy and
excitement as Year 4 headed out for PE. We have been learning a range of basketball skills over the past few
weeks, and today we finally put them into action by playing our first proper
games. It was brilliant to see how confidently the children used their
dribbling, passing, and shooting skills in a real match situation.
What impressed me most was the excellent sportsmanship on display. Teams
encouraged one another, took turns fairly, and celebrated each other’s successes.
There was great teamwork,
thoughtful defending and attacking,
and plenty of careful listening to instructions. The children showed real
maturity and enthusiasm throughout the session.
It was a very successful lesson, and the
class should feel proud of how far they’ve come already. Over the next few
weeks, we’ll continue playing more games and learning the rules and strategies that make basketball
such a fast and exciting sport. Year 4 are well on their way to becoming
confident, skilful players.
