Run Jump Throw

Yesterday the year seven's and eight's had Run Jump Throw. Our focus this week was on Long Jump. We practiced jumping from a yellow line on the court to the field. We went into groups of five. The person who jumped the furthest then went to the finals. The person who jumped the furthest overall, was Zahn. Also, thanks to Andi who let the year seven's and eight's come together. 

Run Jump Throw

Today the year sevens and eights went to run jump throw together. We did a combined session because our coach couldn't stay long enough to coach us desperately. First we played a game of octopus, I was one of the taggers. It was very hard to catch someone when forty people are charging at you.  Next, we learnt about different starts. There are two, one for when you are sprinting and one for when you are doing longer distance running. When we practiced sprinting, we started one step away from the yellow line on the court and when our coach said get ready we took one step forward. When she said get set, we bent both of our knees and when she said go, everyone ran for the other side of the courts as fast as they could. Andy (Our coach) also taught us to not look at her but straight ahead otherwise we would slow down or crash into someone. 

Run, Jump Throw

Yesterday the year 7's and 8's had run, jump throw. Unfortunately, the year seven's didn't manage to do the proper run, jump throw because the instructor couldn't stay at school. Luckily, Mr O from LS1 helped us out and took the year 7's.
