National School Sports Week – Day 4 – Goalball
We have had a great day on Thursday 22nd June 2023, learning how to play the inclusive sport of goalball.
Children in Years 2-6 have all had a go at the sport.
Goalball is a team sport designed specifically for athletes with a vision impairment.
Participants compete in teams of three, and try to throw a ball that has bells embedded inside of it into the opponents’ goal. The ball is thrown by hand and never kicked. The children all wore blindfolds so that they had to really use their sense of hearing to stop the ball.
Thank you to Mrs Goddard from the Wyre Forest Schools Sports Partnership for running our sessions. We all had a great time.
Year 1 have been dancing to music in their classroom today as part of their National Schools Sports Week activities.
