These final two lessons involved recording you explaining your defence strategies to video, from the plans you drew on paper. These are all available in your google drives and will need to be added to your E-portfolio's.

Below are some short clips of some game play from our final lesson. It is certainly interesting to see the change in your spacing and how you are throwing and catching!

Some great triangle options and the teams working together to attack and defend.

Well done, Grade 3 Baker!

Today we began to really put your knowledge to the test. Some of you were frustrated that you couldn't just play and that your teachers kept stopping you to see if, as a team, you were working together to maintain or shut down space!
Remember, as the attacking team, you always aim to maintain a TRIANGLE option

This morning you showed Coach Meherzad and I that most of you understand why working is a triangle is important. And that you can usually demonstrate how to do it. So we added in lots of players moving at the same time and then a defender to see what would happen! Your learning is beginning to consolidate and as a class you can recognise when good attacking and defending is happening.

What do you notice?

Today we started with an instant passing and catching activity to tune our bodies and brains into what we are looking for when working with the ball.

Once we were confident and consistent with our passing, we started to plan ways that our TEAM could attack with success. We planned on paper, and then played, changing and adapting as we went. Some teams did so well, a defender was added to help us see other options when finding our space.

Today was about building and layering and seeing whether we could apply the skills that we have learnt into a slightly different game!

Many of you made good CONNECTIONS between all of the games we have been playing and this was demonstrated through your game play.

Now we are really getting into the understanding of how we attack and defend. After a quick warm up, we played Monkey in the Middle with 3 v 11. There were some great examples of what basic attacking and defending looks like.  When we played as 2 v 2, it became much easy to find space.

In the beginning!

We started with some simple games of Octopus and we talked about how we moved and tried not to get caught. Everyone was good at realising that you need to run into SPACE!

We played Chicken and Hero as a warm up. Many of you were courageous enough to face the one on one 'Hero' challenge. Finding space became harder and we began to realise that you need some dodging and faking skills to find space effectively.

COMMUNICATION was recognised as a very important part of the Central Idea.

Do you notice where all the Defenders are standing?

What are some strategies that you can see?

Time for a new game!
Our warm up involved driving forward into a SPACE to receive the pass. The only thing was, we had to get past out defender!
We remembered our effective faking and dodging, and also how to stand as a defender so that you can see the player and the ball.
Then we played a game of Guard the Pin, adding more layers and difficulty to is as we went.
We shared our ideas of what we found easy and where else we could grow.
We finished the lesson after considering the Timing of our Passes and the different Roles within the game.
