Run, Jump, Throw

Today I created this DLO which explains on some skills/tips to do high jump. I have compared a picture of me and a picture of an actual athlete doing the high jump to see if I used the same technique as the athlete.   I was also comparing the way she does her high jump to my one to see what I can improve and what I did correctly. Here are some skills I learnt when  I went to Run, Jump, Throw.

On Thursday LS2 went and had our session with Andi for Run, Jump, Throw. This week we looked at long jump and some of the skills you need to do for that activity. First we revisited the skills we practiced last week. The skills we learnt about Long jump is that we need to bend our knees and end in a squat position. I had fun learning about this.

Today LS2 had a session with Andy all together including the Year 7. First we were talking about the skills we did last week which were look ahead, light feet, stand straight, bent arms and cheek to cheek. Today we talked about distance run and sprinting. First we played a warmup game called octopus. The aim of this game was there were 4 taggers and everybody has to run to the other side without getting touched. This game was a bit hard because there were lots of people playing and there were 4 taggers which made it easier for them. Andy also told us that when athletes run in the beginning they use high knees.  We learnt to stay one metre from the line. We first had to put our left feet to the line when she said take your mark, then we had to bend our right knee and bend our opposite hand to our leg. When she said On your mark ( CLAP ) we then had to run to the other side.

On Thursday we had run, jump, throw. For that session we had to use the skills or think of the skills we remembered from last years session and use it. Our instructor name was andy and she was really good when she was teaching because she made it really fun. We learnt some tips on how to run fast which were, light feet, look ahead, straight like a giraffe, bent arms and cheek to cheek. I think these skills a good if you want to run as fast as possible. I really enjoyed run, jump, throw.
