Year 4 Practice their Tennis Skills

For PE this week, we have started to learn Tennis skills. We have been using our balls skills that we were learning about last term to help us.
This week, we focused on exploring how to handle the racket and how we control our body whilst holding one.
We focused on control whilst using a tennis ball: tapping the ball up and down and then turning our wrists whilst alternating the racket face. Then, we moved on to bouncing the ball into the hoop using the racket ensuring the ball kept within our hoop. Some of the children found this very challenging but were very persistent. Finally, we ended our lesson with a rally.
