Akau Tangi

It was great to get back to Akau Tangi for a day of sports. We used a Growth Mindset by trying new things and getting stuck in. Trying new sports is beneficial for our bodies and minds! When you learn new things, your brain grows. When you process a positive experience it enhances Positive Emotions too!

Ākau Tangi Visit - Year 5 and 6

Last Monday, we went to Ākau Tangi sports centre. We did cricket, gymnastics and handball. 

We played a non-stop version of cricket and before that to warm up we played a game where you had to grab the ball first, then we did high catches where you have to catch the ball first. 

For gymnastics we warmed up by doing shapes then we went off and did stuff on the equipment. 

In handball we warmed up by playing ball tag, then we did some passing and catching drills. After that we played a game of numbers.

Sports at the ASB

On Tuesday, we went to the ASB to learn some new skills. This time, we took part in Gymnastics, Pickleball, Korfball and Floorball. 

This term, we have been talking about "raising the bar" and challenging ourselves to try new things. We have been doing this in our Writing, Maths, Inquiry and in other curriculum areas. We have been applying this to our physical activities too. Trying new sports is beneficial for our bodies and minds! When you learn new things, your brain grows.
