In PE this half term, Year 6 are taking control of coaching each other in football. We have 6 five-a-side teams who are in charge of improving each other in preparations for the games we play.
I shall say no more as the teams’ press officers have prepared a short summary of what went on in today’s lesson.
Written by Grace: Firstly, the physio -Nishaan- gave us some stretches to do to warm up our muscles ready for the lesson. Nishaan gave us four stretches then he told us to jog around the playground to get our heart pumped. Then, our coach, Abdullah, did a drill with Nishaan and Stanley while Grace and Pavan practised some dribbling skills using cones as defenders. When we became more confident with dribbling, we included it in a little match against another team. We were not allowed to tackle because we hadn’t practised that yet but it was still fun. We played that for about 10 minutes but then tidied away and discussed our lesson before going back into class.
Written by Edward: In my group we had Edward, Aleena, Matthew, Hibba and Megan. The first part was OK when we practised skills but we took the football game way too seriously. Hibba and I were the people who thought we were
not as confident in football. I enjoyed the game but people were taking it too
seriously and were tackling when you were not supposed to. I would rate this
football lesson 7.4/10.
Written by Isobel: In PE, we have started to play football until the end of term. We have all been given roles: coach, manager, kit manager, physio or press manager. In my group, Harry, Nico, Pohnum, Umiamah and I, we focused on dribbling. We did a set of drills that helped our dribbling skills and at the end played a small game with extra rules to help our dribbling skills.
Written by Pippa: Today, Year 6 did football for PE. There were five people in a group and each had their own role: coach (Noah T.), manager (Archie V.), kit/equipment manager (Pheonix L.), physio (Zach I.) and press officer (Me, Pippa G.). The press officer is who wrote the post, the coach trained everyone, the manager took charge, the physio fired up and cooled down everyone on the group and the kit manager got and put away the equipment. First, the physio took charge to get everyone ready. Then, the coach trained the group to warm them up. Next, everyone had a match against another group. Finally, the press officers wrote about it.
Written by Saleem: Today, Year 6 were asked to form a group of 5 and had each been given a role to play: coach (Oliver), manager (Brandon), kit/equipment manager (Iqra), physio (Owen) and the press officer (Saleem) . Children were asked to create a drill practising their dribbling skills as a group. At the end, the children played a match. Our group played very well due to some weather issues and played very well with each other. Today we had a great time and will hopefully continue this.
Written by Neive: Today we did football coaching: Enya was the physio, Neive was the press officer, Daanyaal was the kit manager, Elias was the manager and Matteo was the coach. Firstly, Enya did warm ups. We did ten star jumps, a game of tig and some stretches. After that, Matteo did our drill. Before he started, Daanyaal went and got some equipment for it. The drill involved us dribbling from cone to cone but there was a defender in our way. Next, we did a match against another team. We had to dribble to a line then stop it exactly on the line. We played for about ten minutes. Penultimately, we tidied away. Finally, we discussed the pros and cons of our session – Elias led it.⚽
