Castles and Cannonballs in PE!

Friday 27 September 2024

This term in PE, Year 1 have been working hard on developing their construction, teamwork, and bowling skills! We’ve had so much fun building castles out of cones in teams. The children showed fantastic collaboration as they carefully planned and built their castles, making sure they were sturdy and creative.

Once the castles were complete, it was time for some excitement – knocking them down with “cannonballs”! Using dodgeballs, the children practiced their aiming and bowling skills, focusing on throwing with power and accuracy. They absolutely loved the challenge of taking down the castles and cheering on their teammates.

Through this activity, Year 1 have not only improved their physical skills, but also learned the importance of communication and teamwork. It’s been wonderful to see how well they’ve supported each other and celebrated each other’s successes!
