Cricket

This week in cricket we practiced our techniques at bowling and learnt different techniques. You can be a 'spin bowler' or a 'pace bowler'.  Like the name suggests a spin bowler puts a certain spin on the ball which is a difficult technique to learn, whereas a pace bowler concentrates more on the speed of the ball which is just as tricky.
After a very long practice session  we managed to play a match of cricket using most of the professional rules except one or two. The final score was 25 runs to 3.

Basketball

Basketball is a very popular sport at Fairlop. We have a Basketball pitch in our play ground and many different people from all age groups play there to see how good it is.


Year 5 of Fairlop primary school have many 1st place awards over the years as we are very good at Basketball.

The redbridge mini games are coming up very soon and we are looking for to this competition. We compete in the mini games every year, year 6 had their tournament back in December and now its year 5s turn. We are all training very hard for this event and we will have trials to see who will be in the school team. Mrs Ironside will have the task of picking the bext team for the school.
