Athletics in Year 5

Over the last three weeks, we have been practising our javelin and shot put skills during our Athletics learning. 

We started by experimenting with different throws: over arm, under arm and a push throw. We also experimented with different throwing positions: seated, kneeling and standing. We discussed which throw was best for distance and which position allowed us to throw the furthest and why. 

We then learnt the javelin technique and the shot put technique and compared them.
