Get Set Go!

Sports Coach

On Wednesday we did some balancing. When the coach said, "stop" we had to try balance on one leg with airplane arms. We sit down and listened to the coach, the coach picked someone to be the tagger. He gave them a pool noodle and the tagger had to run and tag everybody. When the person got tagged they had to stand like a starfish. To be back in the game, someone had to crawl through your legs. The tagging game was my favourite game because I liked tagging people.

Room 7 has been enjoying Get Set Go which is a physical education program that incorporates all sorts of gross motor skills and balancing techniques with good old fashion fun.

Taekwondo

This term our students have been learning Taekwondo. We learnt that Taekwondo is a Korean martial art. We have to say some Korean words. It is important to listen to the leader because he teaches us how to punch and kick properly so we don't hurt ourselves. You don't use it in the playground though. Taekwondo is for self defence which means you only use it if you're in danger. 

We loved trying out our new skills on a bag and making all the fun sounds that go with it. At the end of our lessons we are going to get to kick a board in half. We're pretty excited about that. 

If you have any questions for us let us know.
