This week in PE we developed our skills when creating a counter balance. We worked in pairs to support one another’s body weight using different levels. We are going to continue to develop this by creating a sequence next week using a variety of individual and paired balances. 

This half term we are working on our skills within basketball on our new muga. Today we focused on dodging, dribbling and shooting. The children loved spending some time within our new area and using the new basketball hoops!
