PE Basketball, by Mrs Catterall

Date: 9th Oct 2023 @ 10:38pm

Today we enjoyed a visit from one of the South Ribble sports coaches. 

We practised our ball control skills. 

We had to use our hands to roll a ball around our feet, to make a figure of eight rolling the ball between our feet.  To roll the ball around our bodies with our eyes shut!

We practised bouncing and catching, bouncing it several times before holding the ball.  Walking and bouncing.  Throwing and catching. Throwing, clapping and catching.  

The Lions were amazing, great focus and control. Why not ask them to demonstrate their skills at home.

History, by Mrs Catterall

Date: 17th Sep 2023 @ 12:56pm

Do you know who these famous Queens are?

The lions were great at trying to work out which queen came first. They did think it was the black and white one as they knew photos used to be black and white before colour. They also knew that if there were no cameras then the pictures of the queens must have been painted. 

Great thinking and discussions.
