Tuesday 14 February - Run, Jump, Throw

This morning we attended a Run, Jump, Throw session lead by Anita from Athletics Canterbury. We concentrated on running. First we ran around with our arms in different positions. We decided that we could run faster if our arms were bent and we moved them in a line between our shoulders and hips. Next we pretended we were different animals and ran around like them. We decided that we could run better of we were tall like a giraffe and graceful like a gazelle. We then put these skills into action by competing in some relays. Check out the photos, then read a couple of stories about the session.
I was very impressed with the children's running - we have some nifty little hurdlers!

                                                     

Today is run, jump, throw. I am good at run, jump, throw. I did it at my old school. After we did run, jump, throw we decided who won. My team won. In the race I was stiff. My bones couldn't move! By William T

Today is run, jump, throw. I can't wait. The run, jump, throw lady was a little bit late. The teacher kept sending Jeffrey off to give some people a letter to ask if they knew if the run, jump, throw lady was here. Mrs Cross said, 'No.' But Mrs Phillips said, 'Yes.' The run, jump, throw lady was out on the field with Mrs Phillips and Room 4. By William F
