As a part of athletics we have to practice the technique and how to do the things that we will have to do on the day, so we practiced high jump today and did a group run. The boys were the first to practice on the high jump and the girls went for a group run.
The girls did two laps around the field and if they stopped they would have to do another lap. Almost immediately everyone was panting and ready to quit, but the thought of doing an extra lap motivated them to keep running.
Next the boy and girls swooped, so the girls now had a chance to practice on the high jump. Almost all of the girls got over the rope, but a few didn't, but everyone still cheered them on. Mrs Parker re-taught us the scissor kick technique and told us which side of the high jump we should jump from.
Lastly anyone who wanted another turn had another turn, before everyone left so that room 9 could have their turn.
Nice reflection Danielle. Interesting how the motivation kept you running! I will run a lunchtime practice on Thursday so those who can keep going can practice then.
