Tennis, ActiveKids and Cheerleading

Year 2 have had yet another busy day today out in the sun!  Firstly this morning, we took part in a Tennis session with the Tennis coach Neil.  We worked in pairs practising our catching skills before starting to use the rackets to volley to our partner.  We then did some team games whereby we were practising our throwing and volleying skills.  It was great fun and harder than it looked!

Our next activity was ActiveKids with Dave.  Again we were focusing on our listening skills as well as our teamworking skills.  We played a game of Toilet Tag.  The taggers had to get us (we were only allowed to walk fast rather than run) and if we were caught we had to kneel down and wait for someone to pull our chain (our arm in the air).  We really enjoyed this activity (but didn't really enjoy all the flying ants that were joining in too.

The last activity we did was working on our balance.  We had to balance a cone on our heads whilst standing on one leg.  This was quite tricky!

Our last session today was Cheerleading.  We learnt some of the positions and practised our chant:  G...O...(clap, clap) G... O... (clap clap) go team, go team.  Once we had practised the moves we were then able to do them again with the pom poms.  It meant we had to listen well and keep in time with each other.
