We've been lucky at Worser Bay School this week to welcome Amber from Wellington Softball Association. She ran a lesson with our year 3's where they learnt the fundamentals of the game. This involved learning about the bases, how to score a home run, and most importantly showing lots of sportsmanship whilst batting and on the field.
Amber is coming back again next week to further extend our skills. We will be practicing hitting with a bat and quick reflexes- running as soon as the ball has been hit!
In a couple of weeks some of Tautoru (along with the rest of the junior school) will be heading to Ākau Tangi for the Inter-school Futsal tournament. To prepare us we've been practicing our soccer skills, including kicking, dribbling, and how to score a goal. Our PE program has a games focus and our tamariki have loved playing against each other, making sure their Positive Relationships and Teamwork are at the centre of all play!
Sports are so important for our tamariki's wellbeing. Students physical wellbeing is a critical aspect in our schools vision of supporting the whole child. We can't wait for more opportunities to play sport and have fun while doing so!
