Fitness with Whaea Gina

On Monday Whaea Gina visited our school to teach us about healthy eating. She showed us what we are putting in our body and how it affects our body. We would place random foods and drinks in different categories according to how much sugar it contains. Whaea Gina would give one kid a random food or drink and we would have to choose what category it needs to go in. The categories are everyday drinks, sometimes and occasionally which is hardly every. It was fun learning about healthy eating. It was also surprising seeing what we are putting in our bodies.

PE Basketball Skills

On Monday and Tuesday our teacher took us outside to teach us some skills for basketball such as passing, defending and dribbling. We got into groups of four and lined up at one end of the court and ran to each white line forward and backwards while dribbling. We were told that the ball can’t be dribbled directly in front of you and it had to be at a 45 degree angle from our leg. We also had to dribble the ball to the height of our waist so we have more control over the ball while jogging. It was fun because we got to play piggy in the middle using the skills that we were taught. Next time I could practise more on dribbling so I can have more control over the ball while I am bouncing it and running.
