Our Paralympics Game!

We had a go at the Paralympic Sport of 'Boccia' in PE. 
Boccia is a target sport that tests muscle control and accuracy, demanding extreme skill and concentration at the highest level.

Believed to have Ancient Greek origins, Boccia is a tough test of nerve, tactics and skill. Played on a rectangular court by individuals, pairs and teams, the athletes aim to land balls close to a target ball, across a series of demanding ends. The sport is similar to boules or petanque.

We had a great time playing this and did find it quite challenging!
