Crazy Cricket in Year 2

Today, the Year 2s commenced their 2nd week of Cricketing with specialist coach and ex pro, Joe Scuderi. Joe has been visiting for a few years now and it’s great to have him back again this year after the many set back through out the pandemic.

Here is some information drafted by the children in Year 2 with a little inference from their Teaching Assistant, Mrs. Mitchell.

We had a lovely morning with Joe for cricket. We practised throwing and catching skills, ball control and moving whilst in control of the ball. After this, we moved on to try hitting the ball from a tee. We learned how to stand, how to hold bat and how to step when we swing – some were more successful than others. We then played a team game to get points if we managed to hit the ball (front foot drive) through the correct coloured cones.

Super effort Year 2 and thanks Joe! Joe will be coaching the Year 2s for the remaining Summer 1 term.

Mr D. Farry

Hi, my name is Mr Farry, I still consider myself very much part of a great team in a great school, we really do ALL pull together to ensure the children complete a fantastic and enjoyable curriculum. I am still the P.E coordinator (a veteran now that I’ve joined the over 40s club), and still completely passionate about sport and my role in sport at Park. I am still actively involved external sports (both team and individual) and consider this essentially to maintaining a healthy body and mind. The children will tell you I’m still the jovial and humorous person I was when I joined the school, buy I’m simply four/five years older and ‘hopefully’ a little wiser, albeit with a few stray greys! My classroom is a busy place, with high expectations whilst still maintaining a nurturing environment, especially with the kind and generous Mrs Lucas by my side. The children, thus, continue to feel comfortable and content in their learning environment.
