Kiwi Sport

Today for kiwi sport today we worked on our jumping skills since we have done run out of run, jump, throw so we are now doing jump. The first game we played was leap frog. It was like stuck in the mud. To play Andy chose 5 people to be the taggers. Then the other people could run around the 2 thirds of the netball court. Taggers had to try to tag the other people. If you got tagged you had to get into a ball like frog. Someone could get you back in only if they leap over you, like leap frog. However if you crossed the line of the 2 thirds you were out and had to be automatically tagged. Then Andy taught us the what not to do's and the what to do's to jump properly. To do that, you need to have your legs shoulders width apart, bend your legs, swing your arms so it gives you more power when you push off and look straight. Then another trick Andy taught us was the motorbike jump. We practised doing it by jumping then landing in a position as if you were sitting in a motor bike by squatting down and your straight out. Then we played another activity which was relay. This game was to practise our jumping and how well we can do it. We had to get into teams of 6. Then the person in the front had to do jump like Andy taught us and try to get as far as you can. The next person who was behind the first person would then stand beside the person who jumped then do the exact same thing they did, do the jump like Andy taught us and still try to get as far as they could. Then the process repeated again and again until it was the last person. Then Andy would see which team got the furthest. Lastly we played rock paper scissors. Andy split us into 2 groups. There was circled pads placed around forming a semi circle. The first person in each group had to start on one of the pads and do a proper jump on as much pads as they can until they reach the other person. Then the 2 people played rock paper scissors to see who lost. The person who lost went to the back of the line again and the winner can keep jumping on the pads until they reach the end of the other teams pads then they go back to there team or or someone else comes along and them two will have to rock paper scissors and etc.
