Being A Learner: Gymnastics @ Kiwisport

Last week Nate took us for our fortnightly Kiwisport lesson.  We started our Gymnastics unit.  First we practised moving around in a small space, balancing and played a game called Space Invaders for a warm up game.  We explored moving in different ways.  

After this we learnt about stretch and tuck shapes.  We practised making these.  After that we went over to the mats and learnt about pencil rolls.  We had to try and keep our bodies nice and straight.  It was tricky!  Then we learnt about a cup roll too and practised that too.  

Being A Learner: Our First PE Lesson

We have started our Run, Jump, Throw PE unit.  As part of this we learn how to throw a shot put and discus, run in lanes, jump over hurdles and the high jump, long jump and long distance running.  It is a lot to learn!  We get to showcase our skills at our whole School Athletics Day at the end of the term.  Here are some photos of us practising our shot put. 

Being A Learner: Swimming At Aquagym

Here is a selection of photos and videos put together to make a movie of us being learners at Aquagym.  

Being A Learner: Swimming At Aquagym

Today we started our swimming lessons at Aquagym.  

Our teachers are Lucy, Katrina and Mikayla.  

We are in three groups and today our teaches checked out what we know in our groups.  

It was very exciting going swimming for the first time!  

Miss Collins talked about what would happen when we arrived so we knew what to expect. 

We also talked about listening to our teacher so we could learn as much as possible.  

We are looking forward to getting better at swimming!  

Here are some Room 1 swimmers!
