P.E Week 3 Term 1 2017

This week in P.E, 8Mt and 8Rc learnt how to correctly do shot put and long jump with Mr Hilliard and Mrs Merrin.

We were split into two groups. (Boys and girls) The girls went to long jump first and shot put second.  Mrs Merrin set a point on the ground where we had to run from which was roughly 21 steps back from the long jump pit. She told us we had to take off on one foot and land on two.

After about 25 minutes, we switched over. Mr Hilliard showed us the correct way to throw a shot put using dark green shot puts which were heavier and blue shot puts that were lighter. He explained we had to hold the shot put beside our necks, have our elbows up and make sure the shot put was touching the palm of our hands. We then had to bring our elbow down to our knee and push our arm forward, aiming with our other hand.
