"I can do it!"

Through the Kiwisport "Get, Set, Go " programme the children have been learning how to balance.  Some of the children have been finding this a difficult skill so we used our Engage skills of relaxing first and listening carefully to the instructions of looking straight ahead, not talking, aeroplane arms and gradually getting our balance on one leg then lifting it off the ground.  Suddenly there was a very excited voice saying, "I can do it!" as Attah listen carefully to the instructions.  Well done, Attah.

Get, Set Go Kiwi Sport

Through the Get, Set, Go programme the children have been learning a variety of skills from balancing, throwing and catching, doing an obstacle course and listening to instructions to be able to participate in games.  They have all enjoyed learning these new skills thanks to the Sport Auckland coaches.

Balancing Crocodiles!

Room 16 is very good at balancing crocodiles!  At Get, Set, Go we had to balance animals on our bodies.  Have a look at some clever ways we thought of to balance them.

Get, Set Go.

At Get, Set, Go we had great fun learning to balance.  We balanced on one leg, on our tummies on our bottoms and in all sorts of ways.  We had to listen carefully to what Alan wanted us to do.  We found that putting your arms out and not talking helped us balance.
