What you’ll learn
I can understand the difference between my role when batting and fielding in a game situation.
Key learning points
- Move: it is important to run as fast as possible to score points as a batter and to retrieve the ball as a fielder.
- Think: making good decisions when batting helps score points and when fielding helps prevent the batters scoring.
- Feel: congratulating opponents when they perform better than us shows we are respectful to others.
- Connect: striving to play our best, even when we are losing in a game, shows we have excellent resilience.
Words to know
- batting
- when a player uses a bat to hit a thrown or bowled ball, aiming to score points by hitting it far
- fielding
- when players on the non- batting team try to catch or stop the ball and get the batters out

Common mistakes
A celebration can only be shown or given when they have been successful.
Children may feel a lack of inclusion and encouragement if acknowledgement of their efforts are only made when they have been successful.
For parents, carers and teachers
- Pupils should offer encouragement to teammates and their opposition, even after mistakes are made. Celebrations might be offered for trying out new ideas, improved levels of effort and resilience.
