Junior Jumpers

Students in Prep to Year 2 have been developing their basic jumping skills for long jump. The students began by jumping into the long jump pit, aiming to land on two feet.  Then they moved to a wee run up that helped them take off on one foot and again aimed to land on two feet.  The students have also learnt to have a tall jumping body by clapping above their heads as they jumped, and learnt about the importance of landing forward by landing like a frog with handprints in the sand.  It has been incredible to see the students in these year groups giving the jumping technique for long jump a really good shot!  There are some future long jump stars in these groups for sure!
