The children were excited when we received a delivery of new resources containing balls and other gym equipment such as skipping ropes and bibs.

We asked the children what they would like to do with our new equipment and they decided that they wanted to play football.  We collated all of their fantastic ideas and then together came up with a plan.

First of all, the children took responsibility for preparing our resources by pumping up the new footballs.

We have been focusing on different skills with the children, such as kicking and stopping the ball, as well as passing and dribbling. This has supported the children to further develop their understanding of the different stages of football.

The children have also been developing their gross motor and teamwork skills working alongside each other in small groups. The children have really enjoyed this block of football and are excited to show their families their talents.
