The Grade One and Two students have had a great start to their ‘Striking and Fielding’ unit of work. The students have experienced success in hitting a ball from a T-ball stand. They have learnt to stand sideways, with their knees bent and shoulder-width apart, looking at the ball, lifting the bat behind their body at hip height to enable them to swing the bat and strike the ball. This skill will later transfer into the games of softball, T-ball, rounders and cricket.
