Swimming With Tutors

We have started our swimming lessons with the tutors.  We are learning to use arm circles and swim freestyle.  

Gymnastics

We really enjoyed learning new skills at our first gymnastics lesson.  Our instructor, Kain taught us names of different skills and showed us the correct way to roll, jump, balance and land.

We wonder what he will teach us next!

Skip Off

What a great day we have had for our skip off!  Our 3 finalist, Aleki, Christina and Ariel tried their best with Ariel coming third in the junior skip off.  Shelan got the certificate for the most improved skipper.  We have learned so many ways of skipping, both in the short and long rope.

Skipping

We have started to practise our skipping for the big skip off .  We are trying to skip for as long as we can and are learning some different techniques too.

Chicken and Egg at Get, Set, Go

Shannon had challenged us that if we got tagged, we had to sit like a chicken in the 'nest' and pretend to lay an egg.  We tried not to get tagged but we also enjoyed being the chicken.

We are learning to move in different ways at Get, Set, Go.  We wonder what challenge she would have for us next week!

Snag Golf continues

We are almost at the end of our Snag Golf lessons and we have learned a lot of new skills.  We know how to use the tee, golf putter and the ball to get a 'snag', it is when we hit the center of the target. We also got to play a lot of games.  

Snag Golf

This was our first week of Snag Golf.  We had a lot of fun learning new skills and revisiting the old ones with coach, Jay.

Snag Golf

We have been really lucky as we have been given the opportunity to play Snag Golf with Shannon. Some basic steps to remember before we can hit the ball:

• arms straight
• feet pointing forwards
• hands together
• Say "snag" loudly when we hit the target.

It has been so much fun and we have learned so many skills already.  Some of us are so good at hitting the target that the multipurpose room rings with "snag" sounds.
