Year 3 - Indoor Volleyball - Paralympic Sports - PE

During our Autumn 1 indoor PE learning, we looked at the Paralympic sport of  'Sitting Volleyball'. 

Year 3's started this fast paced game by understanding the rules and regulations in place and the different formations that teams can set up with in order to attack and defend successfully. 

Sitting volleyball requires players to keep part of their torso in contact with the ground during play. This rule introduced our children to a unique strategic element, challenging each other to develop upper body strength, quick reflexes, and tactical acumen.

Here are some photos of our learning:

Year 3 - Basketball - PE

This term, our outdoor PE topic has been Basketball. 

We started the topic by learning and understanding how to warm up effectively before taking part in physical activity. 

We then learnt many skills including dribbling, pivoting, chest passing, bounce passing and defending before taking part in some small sided games. 

During Autumn 2 - we plan to take part in competitive matches both in class and against other Year 3 classes, putting our skills into practice! Here are some photos of our learning:

Year 3 - Basketball!

We discussed the importance of warming up effectively before taking part in physical activity, and then attempted various skills such as dribble, cross over and a range a passes which included the bounce, chest and shoulder pass. 

Healthy eating and lifestyle motivation with Madame Seaton

Bonjour Bannockburn!

I hope you are all safe and well and finding lots of activities to keep you learning new things - don't forget to check the blog for French things I recommend; you can even use the Labels to search!

I have been trying to eat beaucoup de fruits et legumes to help me stay feeling good and healthy during this time. I have also been managing to find a little more time to enjoy my cuisine where I can enjoy cuisiner or prépaper les repas. Quatre fois par semaine I have also been going à pied au parc, where I can do a 5k walk or slow jog for an hour. The other days I try online video classes of yoga, danse ou aerobic.

Here are some posters with lots of cognates on that I have been looking at, to remind me how to stay healthy with le sport et la nourriture. Have a look at them and see what you can understand using the cognates (the words we can guess because they look familiarly like English!)

Maybe you could use an online dictionary like the Collins online French Dictionary (like the ones we use in school) to make a poster reminding everyone (including me - keep me motivated!) of what healthy foods we should be eating! Or what kinds of activities we can do at home to keep our bodies moving!

You can also use Linguascope too - they have some sections on Foods and Sports you can use to help you!
