Cricket

Year 5 had a fantastic time taking part in their second cricket session today, led by a professional cricket instructor. We still have three more sessions to go and the children are absolutely loving the experience so far!
Last week, the focus was on developing our catching skills and this week we moved on to batting. The children learnt how to hold the bat correctly and were introduced to the different parts of it – the front is called the face and the back is known as the spine.
To put their new skills into practice, the class took part in a fun competition to see who could score the most runs. There was lots of excitement, encouragement and great teamwork on display.
We were lucky to enjoy the session in the sunshine, which made it even more special. Year 5 are already looking forward to next week’s lesson!
