Fun Fives day 4 – Throwing Thursday

The week is nearly at an end and some boys and girls (and staff) are up to 20 laps of the playground area, with their fun five activity every 4th lap.
Today was the emphasis was on throwing skills – starting by throwing beanbags at the target of a hoop on the ground. Some pupils set themselves the challenge of throwing to the furthest away hoop. When they came to their second activity they had to choose which size of box they were going to throw their ball into – not many people tried the smallest box – it was very tricky!
Back to beanbags for activity three, and how far could you throw a beanbag? Activity four was throwing the javelin and we were all glad that the wind had died down today.
The final throwing activity was by far the most popular – SOAK THE TEACHER!
Miss McLuckie, Mr Reid and Miss Carson took turns on the wet seats and had pupils aiming to throw a wet sponge at them. To say they all got pretty wet by the end was no exaggeration – especially as there was the chance to soak each other with water pistols! The most successful at hitting the teachers seemed to be the younger pupils who didn’t throw the sponge with all their strength – this helped their aim.

Then pupils helped to tidy everything up – in their own way!See our photos.
