Athletics

Mr Webb from Athletics NZ worked with us on our running style.  After a warm up game of "Kangaroo" we ran through the agility ladder and over the mini hurdles.  The key things to remember were to keep our body tall and look ahead, not down.  Mrs Jackson took a series of videos and the improvement can easily be seen.  We finished our session with some tag games - Yellow/Blink, Liberty and Never Ending Tag (which is our new favourite).

Our first attempt through the agility ladder

Another attempt

Still working on running tall

Do you think we improved?

Moving onto the mini hurdles

It takes a little more concentration than the agility ladder ..

.. but running tall helps.

The ultimate test is to see if we still run tall even though we have nothing to jump over.
How well did we do?
