Kaya Families,
During our recent Tag Sports sessions, the children have been exploring the exciting game of basketball, developing their confidence and coordination through a variety of fun, hands-on activities.
The children were introduced to the basketball and learned how to bounce and dribble the ball while maintaining control. They practised using their fingertips to gently push the ball to the ground and worked on keeping the ball close to their bodies as they moved around the space. As their confidence grew, they challenged themselves to dribble while walking and changing direction.
The children also explored different ways to use the basketball, including rolling, throwing, catching, bouncing, and passing to a partner. These experiences supported the development of hand-eye coordination, balance, gross motor skills, body awareness, and spatial awareness while encouraging creativity and problem-solving through movement.
The physical literacy elements that were focused on were Object, manipulation, Agility, Coordination, Movement with equipment, confidence.
Throughout our basketball sessions, the children demonstrated persistence, teamwork, and resilience as they practised new skills, took turns, and encouraged one another. It has been wonderful to watch their confidence grow as they explored the fundamentals of basketball in a fun, supportive, and active environment.
Our Coach this week was Coach Ella!
