Kiwisport (Shot Put)

IALT: position the placing of a shot put.


Today at 9:40 we had to go to Kiwi sport. When we got walked down to the field we Coach Allen and Coach Kelly was waiting for us. While we all were listening to Coach Allen he said we are going to play Dodge ball for our warm up game.

After playing dodge ball we had to put ourselves into 1 group of 3 people. It was Me,Nesi and Sana, when we were in our groups we got given a soccer ball and we had to throw it like a shot put to each other.

To throw a a shot put we had to put it in our finger tips and put it in between our neck and chin. Then we had to bring the soccer balls in and then everyone was kicking the Soccer balls high in the air and then they caught it and put it in the bag. Then the instructor (Coach Allen) showed us how to position the shot put. Then we had to throw the shot put as far as we can.

I partnered up with Sana because we only had 1 shot put in a pair. When I had a go it went far enough as I thought it will go. But when I saw Sana throw it,it was good, Her positioning was on point. Then we had to put the light shot puts back into the bag and head off to class.






What I found challenging was throwing the shot put  ball because it was quite heavy to throw the shot put. What I learned was that the shot put was green and it was light. And I knew that there was wet sand in it because the shot out was very light for a real 1. What I enjoyed was learning how to position myself while throwing a shot put because I never knew how to throw 1 until today. My next steps are is to try and practice with a tennis ball in my own time so I can be good at when I older and be like Valerie Adams.

Last Kiwi Sport Session playing Basketball

WALT: Play Basketball games to improve our dribbling skills

Today at 9:40 we went down to the bottom courts to have our last Basketball session with Coach Peter and Coach Hyram. When we got down there we had to jog from 1 end of the court to the other 3 times. Then we played Golden Child. If you's don't know what Golden Child is it is when you sort your group into 2 groups, (1 group was called Cavaliers and the other was Currymuncha's).  To play the game 1 group has to stand at 1 corner and run the whole court until you get to the last corner while the other team has to shoot and if they get it in the person that's running has to stop where they are. When we played the 1st round we lost then we played 2 more and we lost the game.

Then we played Sideline Basketball. Sideline Basketball is when you sort your group into 2 teams(we stayed in the same team we were in when we were playing Golden Child) and each group has to stand behind the half court line facing the opposite direction. For example if my team was shooting to the left hoop we would stand at the back of the half court line and run to the right hoop then go grab the ball. We had to run when we calls a number for example if we had 10 players in my group he would call out any number and that much people have  to run and play Basketball. We Won that game and it was time for us to go and line up with Kelly.

The challenges I had during this lesson was getting the ball because every time I get the ball the opposite team would always take it off me so that was 1 challenge. The other challenge was shooting while played Golden Child because I was laughing hard and it was a distraction to my shooting so then I missed. My last challenge was running in Golden child because my legs were sore and I had to run to the other corner and i got there.

I had 3 best times during this session 1 of them was playing Golden child because everyone was laughing and we had good times while playing Golden child because everytime I shoot Losana and Akanesi laughs so we did it to each other. My other best time was working together while playing Sideline Basketball because everyone got the ball and passed it to everyone. And also  my best time was doing the chant at the end because we got to say Tamaki.

What I didn't like about this lesson was shooting for Golden Child because I kept on missing and I could've at least got 1 in but I didn't. I also didn't like a little bit about this session is that people keep going out of the court. WHy I didn't like this session because when someone goes out and the ref see's it they don't call it so that's what I didn't like in this session.

What I learned was to run a dribble because I don't really run and bounce the ball because I am use to playing netball.

My thoughts on this Basketball session is that we should work more as a team. My feelings on this session was happy because everyone participated in the games and warm ups. If I got to rate this session I would rate it 10. I would rate it 10 because it was a fun session and I wish we had these kinds of session before.

I hope you like it Comment any feedback and Feedforward on what i need to work on in my future ongoing blogpost.

Many Thanks

IALT: Reflect on another Basketball Session

Yesterday Room 9 went outside to the bottom courts to have another Basketball Session. We met up with Coach Peter and another coach,Coach Yaran. Firstly we had warm up runs such as...

• High Knees
• Jogs
• Butt Kicks and more.

Then we had to get a ball and walk back to the line we came from. When we came back to the line we were asked if we knew what BEEF is in Basketball and we were like yes this is what it means...

• B- Balance
• E-Eye on the target
• E- Elbow
• F- Follow Through.

The we got separated into 2 groups and it was Boys and Girls. When we started shooting I shot and got it in, then 2 bos came and asked if they could be in our group and Coach Peter said yes. Then when they came it started to rain and we got told to put the balls back and walk to class. When we walked to class the couches came with us and had a session in class without the balls. In class we were talking about the positions the is in Basketball and they were...

• SF- Small Forward
• Power Forward
• Center 
• Shooting Guard
• Point Guard

We were also talking about celebrity Basketball players Coach Yaran has met and he said that he met Steven Adams. He told us a story that he heard about Steven Adams and he said that he had a million dolar contract and he said that the reporters asked him what he did with the money and Steven Adams said that he brought a new phone. After that we asked questions and it was time to for our lesson to finish and it was time for them to go. When they left we had to finish off work we didn't finish. What I learn in yesterdays session was the positions in Basketball

What I found challenging was shooting because I could shoot straight that much. What I enjoyed was learning the different positions in Basketball. What my next steps are to try work out how to shoot straight into the hoop.

I hope you like it Comment any Feedback and Feedforward on what I need to work on in my future ongoing blogpost.

WALT:Control our Badminton Strikes

The Safety Rules Of Badminton is that you don't use it to play sword fights,don't whack the Shuttle near someone's head.The two strokes that we learned in our KiwiSport lessons were Forward hand grip and Back hand grip.The Forward hand grip is like shaking someones hand but facing upwards and the Back hand grip is like a Frying pan but backwards.I liked todays lesson cause we got to play games for the whole sessions.I wished I could have controlled my Forward hand grip cause I always hit it down when I play.

I hope you like it Comment feedback and feedforward on what I need to work on
