P5 have been very lucky this week so far to
have had lots of opportunities for taking part in sports!
First of all we started our new block of Tag
Rugby. Unfortunately due to the weather
we had to be inside however, it was still great fun. Our Coach, Rachel, had us working on using
the Tag Belts and getting tags from each other.
First we had to try and grab as many tags as we could, working on our
own then we worked in teams to try and get as many as a team. We used lots of the rugby skills such as
sidestepping to do this. We’re hoping to
get outside next week!
Then we had our second week of swimming. We’re all gaining in confidence in the pool and
are working hard on our own personal swimming skills.
Today we had Club Golf with Michael Swannie
and John from Stromness Golf club. We
were focussing on putting and chipping and learning about the right kind of
stances and grips we should be using. We
learned the little verse ‘back, back, side, side, knees nice and soft! This helps us remember how to stand. We had great fun in the hall at the different
stations and are looking forward to our session next week and then our morning
up at Stromness Golf Club on Friday 6th May.
