PE: Basketball

Tuesday 05 May 2026

This half term our PE unit is basketball. We had our first lessons where we practised our throwing and catching skills whilst in a game setting. Then, we had our ‘fitness for’ session where the children went round to different stations to practise different skills: high knees, star jumps, burpees, etc. These sessions help us understand how fit basketball players need to be. Did you know most basketballers run about 5km during a 48 minute game (most players play for an average of 30 minutes)?

Help at home: Can you name all of the different types of passes?
