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 Kiwisport Lesson with Nate

On Friday we had our first Kiwisport lesson with Nate.  We have Kiwisport every second Friday and every other Friday we practise the skills that we learnt at the last lesson.  

We played a game to develop our locomotor skills which involved us moving around others.  This is an important skill for invasion games.  

After that we played a game where we had to move through the hoops in different ways and drop a bean bag for the next person in our team to pick up.  It was good to practise taking turns in a relay situation.  

Our First Time At Kiwisport

Today Mel came and took us for Kiwisport. We played a game where we had to take other class members bibs.

On Monday we had our first Kiwisport lesson with Jermaine.  We learnt how to jump, hop and land safely.  Jermaine brought along some cool coloured rubber dots and we pretended to be frogs hopping to the different colours.  It was a good chance for us to practise learning our colours.  Jermaine will teach us each fortnight.
