For 6 weeks during term 2 Rooms 1, 8 and 10 took part in a skills based programme run by Sport Southland. The children were taught the manipulative skills of throwing and catching small balls, passing and trapping large balls. They also learnt stability skills of balance and landing as well as locomotive skills of jumping, hopping,running dodging and skipping. The children are divided into 4 groups to have fun learning these new skills and playing games that develop physical activity. It is a fun programme sponsored by the I.L.T. held at Stadium Southland. During the 6 weeks we were also filmed as part of a DVD that Sport Southland were making about the programme.
