We recapped target throwing at the beginning of the lesson and most were ready to move on. We learnt the importance of knowing our partner is ready to catch for their safety. Making eye contact, having their hands out and fingers spread and to say their name before throwing. We then throw carefully and bring the ball to our chest. we had so much fun and can’t wait to practise our skill further next week.
