Ball Skills


The rather damp weather we have been experiencing this half term has proven to be somewhat fortuitous for Otter class as they have been able to apply all their throwing and catching skills inside. This week, they experienced their first taste of dodgeball and they rather liked it!
Not only were the children able to put their ball handling skills into practice, they also experienced first hand why dodging is a skill that is hugely important in a number of game; dodgeball. netball, rugby and handball to name a few. Agility, one of the fundamental skills developed by our youngest children, and team work, a social success developed throughout our holistic curriculum, were at the forefront of the children's minds as they took to the dodgeball court in an attempt to secure a win for their team.
