Today we had our last visit of the term from Greer our Sports Activator. Today’s focus was basketball. We started with a few games to get us all warmed up. We then focused on skills including bouncing the ball and dribbling. We had to try to dribble the basketball as we were chucking a tennis ball up in the air. This was very tricky! We then had to dribble our basketballs up and down the court trying not to have our balls stolen by the two people who were ‘in’. We also played a game similar to sneak up on granny, where we had to dribble our balls up the court and if Greer turned around we had to quickly stop and stand still. Finally, we practiced a very important part of basketball, our shooting. We had a go shooting from right in front and then from the sides. We learned we aim for the square when we are shooting from in front and aim for the red corner when we are shooting from the side. It was a great session and the skills we practiced will come in very handy for those students who play basketball on Monday nights.
