Small School Athletics

On Monday the whole school attended the Small Schools Athletics at South Otago High School in Balclutha. We were lucky with the weather- the sun even made an appearance later in the day! It was great to see all the children giving it their all. Well done to the children who qualified for the South Otago athletics in a couple of weeks. Thanks to all the parents for coming along and supporting your children.

Athletics/Sports Activator

We recently began our athletics training in the afternoons. Unfortunately the rain liked to keep interrupting us however we did manage to get in some practice at high jump, long jump, discus and shotput. Today our Sports Activator Greer came to help us with our athletics skills. We started with a couple of warm ups to get us ready and to practice our agility. We then spent some time working on our shotput and discuss techniques. Finally we tested our agility by running through a ladder drill. We had to make sure we had quick fast feet and move through without touching the sides. We found it quite tricky! We look forward to seeing all our hard work pay off next week at the Small Schools athletics.
