We have begun a new topic in Physical Education — Athletics — with a focus on developing our throwing and catching skills. These fundamental skills will help us during a wide range of games such as netball, basketball, Gaelic football, soccer, and many more.
We started by learning all about the chest pass. The children explored:
- When we would use a chest pass
- Why it is an effective pass in many games
- How to throw a strong and accurate chest pass
- How to catch a chest pass safely and correctly
Once we were confident with the chest pass, we moved on to exploring the overhead pass. The children practised how to complete this pass effectively, focusing on accuracy, power, and good technique.
Soon, we will continue to build on our skills by learning:
- Bounce passes
- Underarm passes
- Throw‑ins
The class has shown fantastic enthusiasm and teamwork, and we are looking forward to seeing their skills grow even further throughout our athletics topic!
