Let's Throw! ☆ Kindy 1

Hello family and friends!

This month in Kindy 1 we are focusing on throwing for our Physical Development class! 

Throwing is a foundation skill that will help us to learn how to control our bodies and learn coordination, timing and balance through play and sports.

To practice this skill, we have been playing lots of fun games and challenges to test our throwing skills (outside and in the gym, definitely not in the classroom! °՞(˃ ᗜ ˂)՞°).  

Last week, on a beautiful sunny day we had a race to see who could throw their ball furthest, then run and collect their ball, giving it to the next person in line. There was a lot of close calls! Kindy 1 is so fast!

We had lots of fun racing our friends!We have also practiced our catching in the gym, throwing a small bean bag to a partner and trying to catch with two hands! We are still learning this skill but we tried our best! This game also helped us to learn about taking turns and waiting for our turn to throw! 

As we continue to learn how to throw, hopefully we can use these skills for games like dodgeball, basketball and baseball in the future! 

 

Thank you for reading!
