PE Update – Basketball

Basketball Skills and Teamwork to Finish the Term

Over the last three weeks, our pupils have been enjoying a block of basketball lessons as we round off the term.

During these sessions, the children have been developing their core basketball skills, focusing on passing, dribbling and shooting. Through a variety of fun activities and games, they have had opportunities to practise these techniques before applying them in more competitive situations. This has allowed them to improve their confidence, decision-making and teamwork while enjoying the excitement of game play.

Alongside the physical skills, we have also continued to focus on the Significant Aspect of Learning Respect and Tolerance. Pupils have been encouraged to show respect for teammates, opponents and officials, while demonstrating tolerance by supporting one another, accepting different abilities and working positively together. These benchmarks have been an important part of every lesson and have helped create a positive and inclusive learning environment.

It has been fantastic to see the progress the children have made, both in their basketball abilities and in the way they work and interact with others. Well done to everyone for their effort, enthusiasm and sportsmanship throughout the block. 🏀👏

Sumburgh Head Trip

A big thank you to everyone at the Shetland Amenity Trust for making us so welcome on our trip this week!

We’ve spent a whole term learning about Shetland’s wildlife and sustainable tourism, so finishing with a trip to Sumburgh was a fantastic way to pull it all together!

We particularly loved watching the gannets dive, and getting to make the foghorn noise!

P4 trip to the 60:40

In our health and wellbeing time, the p4s walked down to the 60:40 for a session with the young sports leaders at the Anderson! They did a fantastic job being our teachers, and we hope they will have us back soon!

(Our p5s have their health and wellbeing with Mrs Moar, but they got to go last year!)
