They then moved into mini games, giving them the chance to apply their bowling, batting, and fielding techniques in a fun and active way. Finally, Year 4 battled through the stifling heat to finish Sports Week with a fantastic netball coaching session led by Jo from Kingsway Power. The children focused on developing their movement, practised chest passes and throwing while on the move, and sharpened their shooting skills.
