Year 3 thoroughly enjoyed their third PE lesson focusing on strike and fielding, and it was extra special as both classes came together for the session. The playground was full of energy, teamwork and enthusiasm as the children worked hard to develop their skills.

The lesson was organised into a range of skill stations, each with a different activity to support throwing, catching and batting. Working in pairs, the children took turns practising their techniques, encouraging one another and celebrating their successes along the way.

At the throwing and catching stations, pupils focused on accuracy, control and safe techniques, gradually increasing the challenge as their confidence grew. The batting activities were a real highlight, with children practising striking while their partner helped retrieve and return it. 

Bringing both classes together created a fantastic atmosphere and gave the children the opportunity to work with different partners, building communication, cooperation and sportsmanship. The children showed excellent listening skills as they followed instructions and moved sensibly between stations.

It was wonderful to see how much progress the children have already made within the strike and fielding unit. Most importantly, everyone took part enthusiastically and had lots of fun while being active and learning new skills.

Well done, Year 3 — we’re very proud of your effort and teamwork during this exciting PE lesson!
