Year 6 thoroughly enjoyed the start of Sports Week with an exciting tennis session on the playground. They began by rehearsing key tennis skills, including balancing the ball on the racket and completing ball taps to develop their control and coordination. After learning how to hold the racket correctly and adopting the correct ‘ready’ position, the children worked with a partner to practise small rallies, demonstrating excellent focus and perseverance. To finish the session, the class took part in a fun class challenge to see how long they could keep a rally going with Mrs Gourley, working together as a team and building on the skills they had learned throughout the lesson. It was a fantastic start to Sports Week, with all pupils showing enthusiasm, determination and great sportsmanship.
