Run, Jump, Throw

Starting our day off today was an energetic and entertaining morning at 'Run, Jump Throw'. Our instructor, Andy has been demonstrating many useful skills for the past few weeks.  Our main focus this week was Shot Put and Discus. We were taught some catchphrases to help us remember the correct way of Shot Put and Discus. 

Firstly, we all tried a shot at Shot Put. Each pair had a shot put each. We had been told many times to: grip the ball with dirty fingers next to your neck with clean palms. Chin, knee, toe all in a row. Low to high and watch it fly! 

We then moved on to Discus. Everyone had a turn to feel the discuses at first. We had to grip the discus like it was on a shelf. We had to always hold it on our third knuckle too. As well as swinging the discus high, clapping on to it so it doesn't fall out.

So far, 'Run, Jump, Throw' has been a very exciting Kiwi sport at PBS. I am sure everyone is enjoying all the fun activities with Andy. Hopefully, we will have 'Run, Jump, Throw' again next week!
