Year 6 have been enjoying  Tag Rugby and Tennis, their two weekly outdoor PE lessons this term.

In Tennis, we have been practising these skills individually and with our learning partners:

  • To develop placement of the ball using forehand and backhand.                                                               

  • To develop accuracy and consistency using the underarm serve.

  • To develop volleys.

  • To employ tactics when playing with a partner.

  • To apply rules, skills and principles to play against an opponent.

Today, we had the chance to put all of  our tennis skills into practice with doubles matches, where we had to work as a team with our partner instead of against them. We took it in turns to serve from the baseline and played against our opponents until one pair reached 40 points after which we swapped and played another pair.

We had a great time, showing our developing tennis skills and having fun in the fresh air.

Which is your favourite sport that we play at school and why, Year 6?
