Tae Kwondo DLO

This term, our kiwi sport was Tae Kwondo. I have created a DLO about our time at Tae Kwondo. I have added some skills we have learnt. 

Kiwi Sport - Taekwondo

Today was our first session of taekwondo. Our instructor Steve taught us how to punch, kick and rotate our body. It was really fun and I am looking forward to next week. 

Futsal and Tennis

Today we headed down to the Marist club. Over there we played Futsal and Tennis. Our instructor Martin gave us an opportunity to play on the real grounds of Futsal. We also got taught how to play a game of Tennis. Our first rotation was Tennis. The instructor we had was Neville, he was a professional Tennis player. Something I learnt in tennis was to always look at the ball. We then had a game of Futsal. I was the captain of the black team. Martin was our referee. It was really fun and we won both of our rounds. For both games we scored 2 points. I would like to thank Martin and Neville for coaching these games. 

Hockey Kiwisport - Session 2

Yesterday was our second session of hockey. with our coach Carly. To start of the lesson we played a warm up game of cats and dogs. We then played a game of switch. What we had to do was switch the ball to the same colored stick. Then we played a game of Shark. In this game we had to defend our ball, and knock other peoples balls to the side line. This game was quite hard because we had to defend our ball the same time we knocked other peoples balls. Once we learned all of our skills while played the games, we had team game. We were split into 2 teams and had a hockey game. Our coach Carly called a number and we had to go in teams of the number she called( for example if Carly called out the number 2, only 2 people would play. ) It was really fun and at the end we went as a whole team and played. 

Run, Jump, Throw

Today for kiwi sport we had run, jump and throw. Today was our second week of run, jump, throw. For our warm up played octopus to get us started. We then talked about the things we learned last week. We had to have our eyes focused ahead of up so we can concentrate. After we went outside to practice our running. We also had to have light feet so we can run faster. We learnt about the  basic skills for running. The skills were to bend our elbows, high knees, cheek to cheek and fast pase. The differents between long distant relays and hurdle relays are that hurdle relays says on your marks - set - go ( gun ). Long distant relays says on your mark and then the gun shoot or a clap. The position for long distant relays is that you have to stay 1 meter behind the starting line. After you use the opposite arm to your leg that you are starting with and remember to look straight ahead.   

Run, Jump and Throw

This week for kiwi sport we had run, jump and throw. We learnt how to run fast and we played a small game of octopus. For our warm - up we played a short game of octopus. After our warm up we learned a few things about running. When you run you are supposed to have high knees and look straight. After that, we were split up into groups. We had to use all of the skills we learned and see who was the first team sitting. This was really fun and I am looking forward next week.
