Physical Education has many benefits for children's overall health and wellbeing. Children can gain confidence in and control of their bodies, increase their fine and gross motor skills, spatial awareness and hand and eye coordination. They also gain self esteem and build their ability to socialise and communicate with their peers. Being physical also helps children expend their energy and thus be able to better focus on more structured tasks at home or at school.

Athletics Day: Week 2 Friday 17 October.
Over the last week, we have been practising our athletics sports. We have been learning the egg and spoon race, the chicken toss, ball throw into the bucket, cornhole, potato sack race, frisbee, hula hoop, vortex throw and catchball to name a few. Tamariki learn lots of things when participating in sports related activities such as how to share, to take turns, to have patience, to listen to instructions, to aim, to move their bodies in time, spatial awareness, hand and eye coordination and many more things related to social development. Tamariki also learn about disappointment, loss and wins and how to manage their feelings.
Overall, I feel they had lots of fun using different equipment and playing games they may have never played before. They were all very tired after the sprints so they enjoyed their ice block and bubbles to end the day.
Just finished our sprint, so it it time to chill out.
