Archery

Physical Education

• The 6-year-old student has learned hand-eye coordination through aiming at the target with the bow and arrow.
• The activity has helped improve the child's focus and concentration as they have to concentrate on hitting the target.
• Archery has taught the student body awareness and control, as they align their body to shoot the arrow accurately.

For continued development in archery, encourage the child to practice different shooting styles like standing, kneeling, and sitting. You can also set up fun target games to keep them engaged and motivated. Introducing basic techniques like anchoring and using a release aid can further enhance their skills.
