Today year 3 had been practicing their athletic skills with various different activities. They got into groups and went around the room to improve their speed bounce, long jump, sprinting and chest push with a ball.

This morning, year 3 had continued with their athletics and today, they were practicing their long jumps. They started off with Simon says to test their reflexes until the last one standing, then in pairs, they jumped as far as they could before they placed a cone on where they jumped. Year 4 then finished with a different version of red light, green light where they had to jump their way to the finish line. They left the session with big smiles on their faces and superstars all around. Super proud of you year 3 this week!

Year 3 had discovered what athletics is all about today. They discussed the meaning of quick reactions and reflexes. They were then tested on their reaction skills with a game to see who could get the cone the fastest to get points. The children then were split into groups of 3 so their running skills could be worked on. One child was the coach, one was timing the runner, and the last running, to which they all took turns. I saw great teamwork being displayed and was super impressed by the enthusiasm shown this morning!
