BASKETBALL SKILLS

On Tuesday room 15 had a Tall Fern come in and teach us some basketball skills. First we learnt the 'triple threat' position, which is a position where you can pass, dribble and shoot from. 

After that we played a game of tag while dribbling a basketball. There were 5 people without a ball, who had to tag the people dribbling the basketballs. When you were tagged you had to hold the ball above your head and to get released someone had to roll their ball between your legs.

Next we split up into 5 teams and did some relays. After that every team went to a corner of the hall apart from team 5 who were split up into the other teams. There were 4 basketballs in the middle and the first person in each team had to get a ball, dribble to one wall, dribble to the other wall, then put the ball back in the middle and tag the next person in their line.

After that we played a game of basketball with hula-hoops instead of baskets we also played a game of 'King of the Ring' with basketballs. IT WAS LOADS OF FUN! Thank you Stella.

Basketball Booster Session

After lunch on Tuesday a selected group of year 5 & 6 basketball loving students had the privilege of been part of a basketball booster session with Tall Fern Stella Beck. 

First we started off with some dribbling skills in the hall then we moved outside to do some 1 on 1 games. We had a 5 vs 5 game that ended up with a scoreline of 20-16. We enjoyed our skill session and we hope to see Stella Beck visited our school again.

Thanks Stella
