Long Jump Training

Sean Minhinnick —

With athletics day coming up we have been busy developing our athletic skills.

Last week in the Hub we got the privilege to go out for P.E. on a nice sunny day. The focus for p.e was long jump and we all jumped like kangaroos. If you didn't know long jump is where you jump into a pit of sand and try to jump as far as you can using different techniques. You need to jump as far as you can and land on both of your feet. 

First we practised jumping over discs which was slow going but then came the fun part, jumping into a pit of sand. We lined up and got ready to jump..... 

Photos were taken of us jumping and shown on the tv the next day in the Hub we all had hilarious faces and our hair was going everywhere, it was funny we had a few giggles looking at the photos. 

Though we had a few face plants into the sand most people landed on their feet, even some people jumped the pit and that was amazing!!!! We all enjoyed the long jump and if we had a chance to do it all again I think we would!!!!!!!!!
