We had lots of WOW moments from the children when they got up close to the plants. Our favourite was the broad beans as they had lots of lovely flowers growing on them. We learnt how to water the plants safely, how to weed and to identify what are weeds. It was great seeing all of the excited faces on the children.

During our football club today we started off with a warm up called mirror tag. The purpose of this was to get everyone running around and thinking about movement and how to avoid their partner without being tagged. After finishing the warm up we began our main focus which was developing our passing skills. Before we started the drills we had a discussion on what was the best place on our foot to use when passing the ball and how much power to use. It was also agreed that if we were bouncing and moving around on our toes it allowed us to be ready to receive the pass rather than standing still. For the drills we carried out some passing accuracy exercises.
