We applied our previous knowledge to enjoy and have fun with our partners.
In groups of four we took turns to throw the ball at a cone, once we had successfully hit the target we could turn the cone over. We explored using different throws such as underarm, overarm or chest pass. To challenge ourselves we used different size balls and discussed if this made the activity difficult or easier.

Our next activity involved us standing opposite each other either side of a hoop. We enjoyed throwing the ball using a chest pass to our partner making sure our hands are ready to catch.
We learnt pulling the ball towards our chest while catching stops the ball falling out of our hands.
