During our PE lessons this term, the boys and girls in Year 3 have been learning tennis skills.
The children have practised bouncing and catching a tennis ball and worked on passing to a partner over the net.
After this, the children learnt how to hold a tennis racket correctly. They developed their racket skills by practising keeping the ball on the racket.
The boys and girls are able to demonstrate the ready position and are beginning to use a forehand stroke to return the ball over the net.
All of the children were very excited to play a game and try to develop a rally with their partner.
