Kilmarnock Cricket Club lessons

Over the past few years, Gargieston has been very fortunate to have had coaching sessions from Mark Colman for the children in Base 4. The children have benefitted greatly from his expertise in passing on his skills and enthusiasm for the game. We have even had success in competitions thanks to his input.

Mark also runs sessions directly through the Club and would invite interest from children in joining him in their evening sessions at the Scott Ellis Playing Fields. Please see below for further details and contact numbers.

PE – Toss and catch practice

  • Hello everyone,

I hope you are all well and staying safe.
Virtual Sports Day Points have been finalised but I won’t be announcing the winning house until I have a highlights package ready, for which I need to liaise with Mrs Griffiths first ( she’s an expert at this stuff). Can I thank you all for your participation and for sending in your scores, videos and pictures – there are some crackers among them!

Did anyone manage to have a fun games night? We have had a few in the Smith household over the lockdown although I think my girls and wife are cheating as I haven’t won a single game yet ☹️. Feel free to send in any photos of your games and sporting activities.
For tomorrow I am posting a couple of throwing and catching activities. These are the Scarf Toss and Catch which is primarily aimed at he lower primary classes to improve hand to eye coordination ; and the Sevens Ball Game for middle and upper school although you should try the activities from either sheet if you are able.
If some of you find these too easy can you adapt them to suit your ability?

 

Have fun and remember to keep doing your workouts and any previous activities you have enjoyed.
Mr Smith

Mr Wicks workout??

Good morning boys and girls. Move over Joe Wicks, the new fitness guru in town has arrived with a new video and challenge for you!

Here is the alphabet you will need…

And for those of you who want to push yourself even more…

Good luck and have fun!

Mr Smith
