During out indoor PE topic, we have started to learn how play badminton.
Over the first couple of weeks, we looked at the different equipment needed to take part in a game, along with the different grips and ways that we can hold our racket.
We started by learning how to serve the shuttlecock to our partner, and over the coming weeks, we will develop different shot techniques so that we can compete against each other.
Friday 14th July saw our annual MFL day festivities. Unfortunately, the wet weather meant some of our outdoor activities were rained off but it didn't stop us having a brilliant day.
