This half term our focus sport is Tennis. So far, we have practised our throwing, catching, serving and striking skills. Year 5 are now trying to hit a moving object with accuracy.
Today, we played hand tennis to help with our hand-eye coordination. The children also had time to explore with a ball and racket each. Our challenge is to improve our ‘keepy-uppies’ score. At the end of the lesson, we moved on to tennis football, where the children had to hit the ball into each other’s goals whilst the defenders stopped the ball with their racket.
Help at home: Go outside and practise throwing and catching with a tennis ball. Or, why not try our ‘keepy-uppies’ challenge? What’s your best score?
