HOOPS4HEALTH Newcastle Eagles

On the 11th October, the Newcastle Eagles came in to school, to talk to us about basketball and health.  Fletcher, Kyle, Georgia and Darius, who are a part of the Eagles, played games with us and talked to us. It was very interesting and all of the Year Fives thoroughly enjoyed it.

On the 11th October, the Newcastle Eagles came in to school, to talk to us about basketball and health.  Fletcher, Kyle, Georgia and Darius, who are a part of the Eagles, played games with us and talked to us. It was very interesting and all of the Year Fives thoroughly enjoyed it.

First they started with an opening assembly to introduce themselves and what they do. They then told us what we were lucky enough to take part in. The first activity that our class did was about how to stay healthy and about our muscles. This activity was with Darius in the hall.

After this, every class swapped round and Kyle talked to us about having a healthy diet. We also talked about the balanced diet pie chart.

We then went to the gym with Georgia and played basketball relay. We also practised different skills with the ball.

It was then our turn, to visit Fletcher in room 1. He talked to us about peer pressure and how to deal with it. He also told us about the different aspects of peer pressure.

Finally, we went back to the gym and they did an ending assembly. A big thanks to Fletcher, Kyle, Georgia and Darius for coming to talk to us about basketball and health. We were lucky enough to get free tickets for the next home basketball match. Fingers crossed that they win!
