Grade 1 - Throwing, Catching and UFOs

Grade 1 students have been learning different throwing and catching games and playing them with different types of ball. They wondered if you could play them with a frisbee, so we spent some time trying. 

Reflecting back on the lesson the students noticed that you have to throw the frisbee differently from a ball; you have to catch the frisbee in a different way; most of them felt that it was harder to play the games; often the frisbee would not go straight like a ball when you threw it; the frisbee was like a UFO going through the air and surprisingly almost all of the students had seen a UFO!
