Training:

Today, I  have finished work on my 3rd DLO on the Olympics. This is my DLO from Mr Ogilvie. Next, i'll be working with Mrs Anderson in Hauoura.

Comparison DLO

Today, the LS2 year 8's completed a comparison DLO on our recent Kiwisport sessions with Andy (Our Run, Jump, Throw instructor). In this DLO I am using the Scissor Kick technique ton get over a obstacle. I compard this photo to a Photo of Ray Ewry using the technique to get over the pole. The Photo (On the right) was posted in the 1900s so it has been centuries that the technique has been used by many people.

Run, Jump, Throw

This week for RJT (Run Jump Throw), the LS2 Year 8's did High jump as its main topic for this session. Andy taught us to do the Scissor Kick Technique. We played Octopus ( Again). For our last activity we did High jump while using the Scissor Kick Technique. I successfully landed every time I jumped but also fell and slid to the sides of the hall.

Warriors Visit:

Today, some members from the NZ Warriors visited to us and discuss Haurora (Our well being). Ryan Hoffman (Captain of the Warriors) and John Palavi took two sides of assembly into two separate teams. We played/participated in 4 activities ( These were Belonging, Trivia, Hydration, Sleeping). Thank you to Alice from DTR who created this opportunity for us to see some players from the Warriors in person and Georgia ( who also represents the entire Warriors members).

Run, Jump and Throw:

Today, we had Run, Jump, Throw. This session was about running/how we start in a short distance race.You had to stand back 1 meter from the line. It was really hard trying to find my starting leg (Both had an advantage in its own way). When you leave whatever foot you are great or have an advantage with, you need lift up your back heel (the opposite foot) and also you opposite hand because it is more harder with both your hands reading to run. A massive tip: Do not look at the instructor who will  begin the race Our exercise was Octopus and  our main activity/ was a game that involved you having a partner and a cone. You placed your cone on the yellow line. You will win if you have the fastest reaction time. 

Run, Jump, Throw: Long Jump

Yesterday,  LS2 had Run, Jump, Throw. This session was all about Long Jump. I did participated for 15 minutes but left after my right ankle was playing up. They practised on jumping but land without falling backwards with a 1 foot jump and 2 foot jump as well. I heard it was fun when I could hears screams of joy from everyone having fun.

Netball

Yestrday,  4 teams (two teams from year 7 & 8 and 2 teams from Year 5/6) participated in the Interschool Netball Competition, We all had fun since we all played 1-3 games( as a sub or full game). We all learned to have team spirit and work together to create chemistry.
