Cricket Skills

The other week Room 2 went to the sport field to practice cricket skills with Jack. Firstly, we learnt to hit the ball with a bat. When hitting the ball with the bat you must have the ball under your eyes and turn your hips where you intend to hit the ball. After that, we had a competition where we had to hit the ball through some cones. The other skills we practiced was throwing and catching. Catching the ball with one hand was difficult. We enjoyed the practice but the weather was cold!

Cricket Skills

Last week James from canterbury cricket took room 2 for cricket lessons. Firstly we played a tagging game with tennis balls for a warm up. Then James taught us some cricket skills. Batting was one skill he taught. When batting we had to stand side on.

After that James taught us catching skills. To make catching easier , we had to cup our hands and keep our eyes on the ball.
At the end we played a game called “ jack-pot”, which is a catching game.

We thought the lesson was awesome because some people had never played cricket before and learnt new cricket skills.
