Rowan Class Basketball Tournament

At the end of most PE units, all classes are encouraged to do a class tournament within the sport they have been learning about.

This half term Year 5 have been learning all about basketball and we were (FINALLY) able to have our greatly anticipated class tournament last Friday.

The class were split into 6 teams and we played a round robin tournament against each other. We used an adapted court and focussed on the skills we had learnt over the previous 6 weeks. The skills of teamwork, resilience, competitiveness and sports’man’ship were vital here and all teams worked BRILLIANTLY together. Everyone also had a go at some umpiring which meant we were also able to put our knowledge of the rules into play as well.

‘Blue team’ was the winning team on the day, with a whopping 13 points from 5 games! A huge well done to them – here they are displaying their pride by brandishing our class PE cup.
