Friday 16th August

Today Counties Manukau Sports are coming to Rowandale 

The Innovative Aviators are going to have a 'Have a Go Sports Day!'

We had so much fun.

First we tried: Fundamental Movement Skills

 This helped us learn new skills that we could use in other sports.

Next we had a turn at playing touch.

 We had to use the Habit of Mind of 'Working with Others'.

Then we tried Soccer, otherwise known as football.

 We use our 'Prior Knowledge' of other games and applied them to these games.

Then we played Softball with Coach Ellie.

 We all enjoyed batting and using the mits to help us with our fielding.

Lastly we tried basketball.

We learnt the rules to play basketball properly.

1. Dribbling

2. Passing

3. Shooting

4. Working as a team
