ACT Year 6 Basketball Tournament – 9th March 2023
This week’s tournament went well mostly. Some of this week’s teams were quite the challenge and had experienced basketball once or twice before. Our team tried some great passes into the space but could not get any baskets. We kept our chins up and carried on playing as well as we could. We will know for next time what our opponents are like and know what we must bring to the court. What we learnt from this was that we need to remember the techniques that we are taught during our PE lessons and take them to the court next time.

Two games down and just two to go. Up next was Cranberry School, a very seasoned dodgeball team who were a determined team to win, they proved to be a tough team to beat but our team played with such enthusiasm and spirit and with minutes to go we had a 6-1 lead, we were unfortunately turned around by some superb catching from Cranberry and lost
(0-6). The children were not overcome with their loss, they fought hard in their last match against Pikemere but with some superb throwing and catching from the opposition, we were beaten by a very strong and organized side losing (0-6).

Sports Ambassadors
Our sports ambassadors have been leading PE lessons with the Year 2 class. They have planned and delivered fitness lessons that have been engaging and fun over the last few weeks. Year 2 have enjoyed circuits of simple fitness moves and the ambassadors have been amazing role models - demonstrating each move carefully and helping the children to complete each move successfully. They even chose some suitable music and used timers to allow every child to try each exercise.
