Forest Green Rovers Premier Stars Day at Gastrells

Sparrowhawks got active last week with a session with visiting sports coach from FGR. Tom Needham. Tom led the class through some games using different movements, before introducing footballs for children to practice their close ball control. After lunch Tom gave an assembly all about what makes Forest Green a unique football club. He then announced the two new Gastrells FGR Ambassadors for the 2022/23 season.

Better Bounce Passing

In our PE lessons this week, Miss Thompson showed the class how to do a bounce pass in netball. Sparrowhawks worked together with activities to practice their passing and catching techniques, before coming together for a game.

Muscles Investigation

Do children in Year 4 have stronger muscles than children in Year 3? That was the question that Sparrowhawks set about investigating in their Science lesson with Miss Thompson this week. We learned about how muscles control our movements. Children timed each other doing speed jumps for one minute, and recorded the results for their group in a table. We then put all our group results together to discuss our findings.

Gymnastics

Sparrowhawks are sharpening their skills in gymnastics this term in PE. This week we focused on forward roll and then incorporated it into an individual routine of different rolling movements.

Tag rugby victory

Gastrells 9

Cashed Green 1

After working on tag rugby in PE this term it was fantastic to take 13 Sparrowhawks to Cashes Green to play a competitive game. I was incredibly impressed with their passing, running with the ball and overall teamwork. A particular well done to those who were playing their first ever tag rugby match.

🏉 Rugby in the rain 🏉

Today we had an amazing P.E lesson learning to play rugby in the rain. The children developed their handling skills, whilst working as a team and getting rather wet and muddy. Look out for the video highlights coming soon!
