YMCA - Stars!

Our first lesson with the Stars from YMCA in Whanganui was great.  We did have to work in the Scout Hall - which is not as ideal as working outside - but we still learnt alot!

First - we warmed up in 3 groups - we did zippy warm up type activities and rotated around.
Second - we learnt that our focus was on sprints.  (Shot Puts are apparently not ideal inside!)
Third - we looked at styles of running and figured out the best most efficient pose for sprint running.  (Running with you arms above your head or your hands dragging on the ground ARE NOT efficient running styles).
Fourth - we practised a series of sprints from point A - point B in teams. 

It was a great first session and room 1 are looking forward to session 2.

Miss G wanted to join in but spent most of her time trying to get decent photos!

I'm sure you'll be 'running like the wind' once you get outside to practise your newly learned skills Room 1.
