There’s lots of extra curricular clubs happening at Netherlee.  Here are some thoughts from pupils.

 

P4 Yoga – by Eilidh

I liked the beginning because it was good for getting you ready to do the other stretches.  Some of the stretches were quite difficult. I found A lizard on a Rock quite challenging.

P7 Netball – by Brooke and Jodie

Every Monday some of the P7’s go to the after school netball club which is taken by Mrs Miller and a few other teachers.

We learn lots of skills such as the 3 throwing skills which are chest pass, bounce pass and javelin/shoulder pass. We also use skills like marking and going into a space so that you can receive the ball. All of us learned our positions and some of us had to use the skill of shooting.

Most of us went to the P6 netball club last year so some of us have had lots of practice and experience.  We are all set for competitions and tournaments and are looking forward to having a turn representing our school.

The positions we play are GS, GA, WD, C, GD, WA, GK. We all got a chance to choose our position and play it. The attackers are allowed in their half and can try to get the ball near the net. If they are GA or GS they can shoot too. All the defenders can defend the opposite team and stop them getting the ball into the net. Centre can go all over the court but can’t go into the semi-circle, they can’t shoot however they can defend and attack.

P2 Run Jump and Throw – Sam and Katie

We’ve been using the balls to practice throwing and catching. We also did obstacle courses for running and jumping, my favourite thing was the obstacle course.

I enjoyed octopus tig because there were crabs in the game and they were trying to catch us but they weren’t allowed to move forward or backward. I learned a ball game called BOMB, you had to sit down if you were holding the ball by the count of 10.
