Junior Athletics 2023

 

This week Autahi and Tautoru got outdoors to get into some Athletics. Alongside some supportive seniors, we raced over hurdles, balanced items on spoons, threw bean bags into buckets and leaped in the long jump. 

The positivity was flowing as cheers of 'You can do it' rang out as the competitors gave it their all. The goals for the day were to try your best and have fun.

The New Zealand Curriculum outlines some key learning experiences

  • Develop a wide range of movement skills, using a variety of equipment and play environments.
  • Participate in a range of games and activities and identify the factors that make participation safe and enjoyable.

We take part in regular P.E. sessions and learn about ways to move your body as wells as learning new games that encourage participation. We also learn to give things a go and support each other to try our best.

Check out the different activities here:

The bean bag toss had different levels of challenge to stretch everyones skills.


Leaping through the air on the long jump!


A careful balancing act.


These sprints were neck and neck!



Finally we finished it all with an obstacle course around Big Kids Playground. It is so nice to get out and about in our space and move and play.
