Today we welcomed a cricket coach into school. He began the day with a whole school assembly where he introduced us to the sport of cricket and asked us to think about whether it might be a sport for us. During the assembly, we discussed the important skills needed to play cricket, how these skills can also help us in other sports, and why working hard at something helps us improve.
After the assembly, our class had the opportunity to take part in a cricket session with the coach. During the session, we focused on developing our catching skills and learned some helpful tips to improve our technique.
We have been set a challenge to keep working on it at home and show progress. Even something as simple as throwing and catching a ball of rolled up socks can help us get better!
We are really looking forward to learning the next skill when the coach returns to work with us again next week. 🏏😊
