PE and Seascapes

In PE this term we are learning about Rebound Games. This involves thinking about how we move our body and control it and also using a variety of equipment. This week we explored this with tennis racquets and tennis balls. The main focus was controlling the tennis ball either with our hands or with the racquet.

We started getting used to controlling the ball by rolling it to our partner and back. Some of us realised we had to give it more of a push and others realised they had pushed the ball too hard.

We then used the racquets to do the same thing.

It was then time to work on our own and really focus on holding the racquet properly and then balance the tennis ball on the racquet, this was tricky, especially when we started moving too.

We completed this lesson by moving the ball around the Muga with the tennis racquet. We again had to think about the amount of power we were using to ensure the ball rolled but didn’t roll too far away.

We have continued with our block of learning about painting and over the past couple of weeks have made a Seascape. We stuck with blue and yellow to make green and had a go at blending the colours to make it look like the sea. We then drew and cut out fish to add to the Seascape and are looking forward to creating a display with our amazing art work very soon!
