Netball match at Holyrood As the children arrived at Holyrood, Kelly greeted each school with enthusiasm and started an exciting warm up including fun games and activities. The joy on the children’s faces was obvious as they raced around the Astro-pitch with their friends; they were particularly excited when they played the “Volcanoes and craters” game;each team had to try to turn the opposing team’s cones over in a certain time.Kelly started the next game enthusiastically making children laugh and get exited about the traffic game, where if Kelly shouts amber you walk around the pitch if she shouts green you run and if she shouts red you stop. This energetic fun game obviously by the smiles and enthusiasm on the children’s faces was very enjoyable! This next game was about years 3 and 4 lining up around the D on their pitch, and them taking it turns to go in the middle and say the name of the person who they are throwing to. Then they had to pass using either a bounce pass or shoulder pass. They did this for a while before switching to another game, where they had to line up on the edge of the D and run in for the helpers to throw to the ball to them and then they threw it back to the helpers. After that they, played a game where they found themselves a partner and the helpers placed a cone in-between them and the instructor called out different body parts and the children had to touch them and if they called out cones then they had to grab the cone before their partner. Now they are trying to shoot the ball through the hoop and then go to the back of the line. Then they had to try some jumping techniques whilst trying to shoot the ball in the hoop when one of the helpers threw the ball to them.The dance of wake wake ,timber,shut up and dance ,shake it of.with me all brung smiles as they rocked out with tiredness on there faces After a well deserved break and delicious lunch,the children practiced their shooting skills on the courts.The concentration on their faces was incredible as they all took turns to take a shot at the net.As they did this Kelly’s amazing helpers shouted words of encouragement which largely assisted their play .When everyone had done this successfully, Kelly introduced an excellent game called ‘end ball’.In this particular game all of the children played a netball match,but without quite so many rules to make it less difficult for the children.To follow this,each individual school did a great shooting competition in which everyone lined up and tried-and succeeded!-to shoot the same amount of goals as the children in the group.Kelly finished off with a thank you to everyone for coming.
