We have learnt how to jump over hurdles and have learnt about different relays, such as: running, skipping, hopping on one-foot, running backwards, and a sidewards run. We have also learnt the correct technique of throwing, we practiced throwing a vortex. This week we have started a brand new unit on fitness.

This was an incredible achievement for Lorenzo. We are so proud of you for being a risk taker and for displaying resilience in your athletics debut.
