Rob the nest hockey style

As part of interchange children have been learning how to strike (hit) with a stick. 

Hockey is a relatively new skill to most of the Pukeko children. 

Children were checking their buddies were using correct grip, making eye contact and stepping forward to push the ball to their partner.  Peer assessment is a great tool to help remind  the 'assessor' what they need to do. 

I'm a big believer in using games to help reinforce skills that have been taught. Also asking children how modifying games can make it easier or harder.

Conquering the non dominant hand!

As an introduction to PE interchange this term we have been learning that using your non dominant hand for catching and throwing isn't as easy as it sounds. 

Some of us were challenged, but as our school value for this term is resilience many children were showing this in abundance along with perseverance.
