TGFU - Back again

This term for TGFU (teaching games for understanding) we are running it similarly to our Touch Rugby last term except our sport is Basketball.

The class is split into 5 teams and each team has a coach, captain, and a manager. The coach plans their sessions and liases with the manager about the skills and drills (to begin with - ball handling). The manager is responsible for the organising and setting up of equipment while the captain is primarily in charge of team relationships and behavior.The coaches use the above books to plan their sessions and the first session was modelled by Miss F who showed the breakdown of activities and time management eg:

10 mins - warm up

5 mins - stretching

10 mins - skill focus

10 mins - skill reinforcement game

10 mins - warm down activity

The students are all working well together and cooperating as a team, it is great to watch and be a part of.

Stay tuned for more!!

Speeches - Start planning

We are writing speeches this term. We will be following the hamburger structure for speech writing.

Using a qoute can be (not always) a great way to introduce your topic or point of view. Here is a quote I found about our topic of careers.....

The best careers advice to give to the young is 'Find out what you like doing best and get someone to pay you for doing it'.

Katharine Whitehorn (1928 - ____) English "writer, essayist" "In ""Observer (London),"" 1975."
