We practiced our sprinting techniques, things we had to remember where to look straight ahead, have relaxed arms but pump them hard and have cheetah feet. We had to lie on the grass with our chins on our hands, when Mitch clapped his hands we had to jump up as fast as we could and sprint to the finish line.
The next activity was high jump, we had to practice scissor kicks using our arms to help lift us off the ground.

| Arms high to help us jump! |
When throwing the discus we need to remember to hold it with only the tips of our fingers, it should glide flat through the air and the last finger it rolls off is your pointing finger.
The last activity we did was the time trial through the weaving poles, hurdles, fast feet and sprinting. Our best class time was 33 seconds.
It was helpful to practice our athletic skills for Small Schools Athletics in three weeks.

Look forward to seeing you all at small schools athletics. Kate
