Sports this term

This term is going to be fun filled with plenty of sports and physical activity. 
We have our dance fever coaches. We are learning hip hop, the samba, and the waltz. Dancing is a great source of fitness, and we get really puffed keeping up with the beat. 
We also practice Just Dance clips on rainy days instead of doing fitness outside. You can view these on our class site.
In kiwi sports we are learning hockey skills. It's pretty tricky moving the small ball around with a hooked stick, but as always we are learning quickly thanks to our great coaches. 




We'll also be practicing our athletics skills as the inter-school athletics tournament is coming up. Last year Glenbrae school competed and did really well in sprinting, shot put, and discus... This year we might even have some champion jumpers.

Beginning Basketball

Today was our second basketball lesson with Coach Chanel. She taught us some ball handling skills then got us playing games where we had to practice dribbling the ball. 
This was great fun and we were all pretty exhausted afterwards. This week we are writing recounts of our basketball lesson and trying to add as much detail as possible about the activities to add interest.
Be sure to read our individual blogs to read our interesting detailed recounts! 

Practicing bouncing the ball between our legs.

Touch-down.

We had our final touch lesson with Coach Eric yesterday.
Over the past four weeks he has been teaching us about passing, running with the ball, making touches, tries, defending and getting us all confident with a rugby ball!

This week we played a proper touch game. We all participated and scored heaps of tries. Luckily afterwards it was morning tea time so we could have time to relax and eat to recharge for the rest of the day.

Today at morning tea time, Room 7 and some of the other Glenbrae students played their own touch game on the field.
Keep it up sporty people! And thank you Coach Eric!

Touch with KiwiSport

Our newest Kiwisport started this week. I'm very excited to announce that we are playing touch!

I play touch at on Monday nights, and our final game of the season is next week.

We have some budding touch stars in Room 7!
