PE-Shot put
The children have all tried really hard with the 'shot put' technique and are very proud of how far they can now throw the ball. They enjoyed watching an 'Olympic shot put men's final' and finding out that the shot put weighs 7.26kg. The children had a go at lifting 7.26kg and all agreed that it is much easier using a tennis ball!
