  PE - Hockey shooting skills

  Today we looked at improving our hockey skills, and focused on shooting. We all love score goals and we focused about shooting through a small target. The children did well with this and then worked on linking dribbling skills to shooting. We then had a game of chaos to close things off. Well done year 4!
