We have started athletics and we are really enjoying it. This week we focused on throwing and running. Slyvia showed us the correct arm technique for running. She taught us to use the opposite hand to the leg, keep the elbows in close and imagine eating sweets to bring the arm up properly, helping us avoid running with a straight arm. Mrs Browne learned a thing or two.

Slyvia also showed us how to throw at a target hoop. The furthest hoop earned two points, which proved to be quite a challenge. We are very grateful to the Parents’ Association for funding this, and to Slyvia for working with us even in the freezing weather.

Slyvia will continue teaching us every Thursday until Christmas.
