Run, Jump, Throw
Today R5 have been doing kiwisport called Run, Jump, Throw with Andie. She has been with us for four week teaching us how to do Run, Jump, Throw and I have been enjoying these lessons with her. Today Andie taught us how to do Shot Put and Discus. For Shot Put we had been taught catch phrases like dirty fingers, dirty neck, clean palm. All of phrases have meaning with it like for dirty fingers, you have to have the ball on your fingers, for dirty neck you have to make sure that the shot put ball have to touch you neck and make sure put underneath your ear so that you can throw it far. When you are throwing it make sure you chin - knee - toe all in a row, also elbows high, and low to high, watch it fly. For Discus you have to grip the discus thrower like a shelf, so if you out upside down the discus should fall out, make sure you grip on the third knuckle, then swing up, clap, bring back, chin knee toe, then last of all low to high, watch fly, then fling it fast.
Today we had Coach Mark and Coach Millie with us. Coach Mark and Coach Millie taught some basic skills on how to play Basketball. First of all we had to form in to groups of four, then we had warm ups to get us energized and ready for to play. After the warm ups we had to sprinting across the hall and back to our team mates. After that they taught us how to jump on one feet after another so we can be able to land on feet and we won't fall. Meanwhile we were taught to cup the ball in our hands so we can be able to that and pass it under your leg. Then we had to sprint while dribbling the ball across the hall and back. After all the training we had relays. For this we had to sprint across the hall while dribbling around the chairs and back.
