Striking and Fielding in P1

In Primary 1 we have been developing our striking and fielding skills.  Today we used balloons in our PE lesson to further develop our skills and make striking and fielding a little easier.  We were fielding by throwing our balloons towards a target.  We were striking the balloons using our hands and bats.   We had great fun and only a few balloons went pop!
