During Half term 3 students across both key stages have been focusing on their badminton skills in core PE. The students have learnt how to hold the racket correctly and then have gone on to develop the different shots in the game including footwork. Some students have been able to umpire the games and talk about the different tactics and shot selections that their peers have chosen. Students have also continued to build on their knowledge around warming up as well as their knowledge on the short and long term effects of exercise on the body.
