Athletics Reflection - P.E Training

Today I will be writing about what we have been doing in P.E, Athletics training.  We did some training on High jump, Long Jump, Shot put, Discus and sprints for us to train for Athletics day on Thursday. We also did some training for 100m, 200m, 400m, 15,000m sprints and recorded our results on a document.

One of the events that I think I have improved on was my sprints because my first result I got was 10.38m which was pretty good for my first run but thought I could do better, then later on during more training I improved and got 9.25m.

What I learned:
I learned some new techniques on how to throw a discus and a shot put because last year I was struggling on how to throw both of them, but now i'm happy that I know now. 

These are the results I got for each of the events I did:

	Before	After
Shot put	5  5.10	9.40
Discus	12.20  12.50	9.80
Long Jump	2.40  2.60	3.00
High Jump	n/a	n/a
Sprints	10.38	9.25  19.46mph
Long Distance	N/A	N/A

I really enjoyed practicing for athletics and surprised with the results that I got, especially for sprints and shotput.  

PE Athletics

Today in PE we are learning how to throw a discus and do high jump.

 First we practice doing discus, we went out onto the field and got into partners, we had to practice rolling the discus gently straight in a line to our partner who was facing opposite us. Later after that, we learned how to hold a discus and how to throw one too. I found out when your holding a discus, you have lay your finger at 12 clock before you throw it.

After discus, we went back into the gym and did high jump. In high jump we learned how to jump backwards onto our back but laying with our arms and legs in the air, on a thick mat. Then after a few practices of doing that, we did a little starting walk practicing doing it with one leg up then landing on our back again. We were learning how to just jump with one leg up instead of jumping with both. 
I enjoyed practicing today in PE because I got to learn new skills on how to get better in the athletics sports.
