Dribbling
The Jaguars are focussing on basketball this half term. The children have been working on their dribbling skills, making sure they use a wide hand grip to push the ball. Mr. S was very impressed with children who were changing their dribbling hand when they changed direction!
The Foxes can move!
Mrs. Porter has been very impressed with The Foxes Ballroom Dancing this half term. They have perfected the Cha Cha Cha and have now moved onto the Waltz. I’m sure you will agree, they are giving the contestants of Strictly Come Dancing a run for their money.
