Cricket
 
Our first week back at school has been extremely sunny, perfect for all of the PE we have been doing! On Friday, we were lucky enough to have Elliott come in from Durham Cricket. He put on a workshop for us for an hour to teach us the cricket skills of catching and batting.
 
The first game we played was where we had to move around the yard in different ways (running, hopping, skipping) holding a tennis ball. When Elliott called out a command we had to carry it out, such as high was to throw the ball in the air and catch it, hot was to pass it from hand to hand like a hot potato and so on.
 
Then, we had to find a partner. There were lots of cones set out and one of us would collect a cone and stand by it, throwing the tennis ball back and forwards to our partner. When we had completed two throws, we put the cone on our partner's head and went to get another, trying to get as many cones on their head as possible!
 
Finally, we practiced our batting skills. We had some balls lined up on cones in front of a set of wickets. Once we hit all three balls, the fielders had to go and get them and place them back on the cones, while we tried to score as many runs as we could. A great time was had by all!
