Athletics- High Jump

Kia ora welcome back or welcome to my blog, today I will be talking about High jump. Athletics is a big part of New Zealand school culture. In New Zealand each year the school will run an athletics event, one of the events is High jump.

High jump is when you jump over a metal bar that is approximately 1m high. The aim is to jump the highest. The way you jump over is you get a run up and when you make it to the bar you jump over with a scissor kick. A scissor kick is when you have one leg go up and then the other one matches its height.

When I last did high jump I failed on the first jump. Maybe because it was a big competition over all of Canterbury and I was not very good. I didn’t enjoy it but at least it was a good learning experience. I hope to learn better for the future.

Hockey Basics in P.E

Kia ora welcome back or welcome to my blog.

Today I will be talking about P.E and the sport we have been playing in it. The sport we have been playing in P.E is called field hockey. P.E otherwise known as physical education is something a lot of schools do to teach kids sports and physical hobbies.

Lately in P.E we have been playing hockey. Hockey is a non contact sport witch you use hockey sticks to push the hockey balls into the goal. There are many positions like, goalie, defence, attack and mid fielders. There are a lot of hockey specific language like: mark, pressure, penalty, foot, and much more.

Out of school I play hockey in the position goalie, so this was quite easy for me. I still really enjoyed it and I got to teach others some of  my knowledge. It was pretty chill and we learnt all the basics. I hope we do it again next year.

Do you play hockey? and if you do witch position?

P.E Term 3 Throwing and Catching

Kia ora welcome back or welcome to my blog. Today I will be talking about what we have been doing in P.E this past term. This past term we have been working on throwing and catching. With throwing and catching we have learnt games related to it like Netball, Basketball, Bench ball, Koffball and Much more.

To catch a ball you have to keep your hands like a w in front of your chest and keep them sturdy. To throw you do the same and you push the ball forward. To aim you keep your eyes on the target and then throw forwards to the target.

I really enjoyed it and I think I did OK but I did try hard. Everyone did amazing and nobody gave up and neither did I. I think I could have probably did better at my aim and one handed catches. I did do good in throwing with one hand though.
