Run Jump Throw

Run Jump Throw

Today Room 5 had Run Jump Throw with Andy. Andy taught us two new skills, and the two new skills are Shotput and Discus. She was telling us all the important tips for Shot Put and Discus. We have to listen to the tips very carefully, so we can do it in the correct way without making any mistakes.

For shot put, your body should be able to bend and twist.

When you got the ball first you have to stand tall by looking side way and twist your leg little bit to the right then twist your body to the left so it will be able to to throw the ball straight.

For Discus you have to do the same thing as shot put but the difference between shot put is that you have to throw the ball by twisting your body, but in discus you have bend , twist and clap.You clap the disuse so it will be easier to throw the ball hard and straight. But we have to make sure that when you are you discus you knees should bend and you legs should be able to twist fast.

Kiwi Sport with Andy

Today we had Kiwi Sports with Andy and she taught us how to stand tall and run straight by looking forward. I thought it will be hard for me but I tried my best.  After that, she taught us that our hands need to be cheek to cheek so we can run faster, not slower. Then she taught us about the light feet. Light feet means not to put your whole feet down , just the tip of your feet. Then she taught us all about high knees. When your running your knees should be very high, so it will be easier to run faster and it won't make you tired. At the end she taught us in some races they will use some hard wood to clap, and she told us that when they running from distance they won't say get set and she told us that the runner never look at the starter, because sometime the starter might clap later, and their action will look like that they are going to clap. So never look at the starter. I have learnt lots skills from Andy and Now I know all the important things for running.
