There is no word ses in Spanish. Se is the singular and plural object pronoun in this case (for le or les in this lesson assignment).
In your particular example Se is being used for les (ellos).
José se las tira. (Joseph is throwing them the streamers to them..
les (a ellos)=se (i.o.p)
las serpentinas=las (d.o.p)
The a ellos is just an optional clarification tag that informs us whether les means them or you all.
