a) Little Instructors
· We formed a big circle. The kids took turn to instruct the class on warm-up exercises. Foo Soon did “Tae-Kwondo” style which the class immediately said “That’s not warm-up”…….haaaa!
· We identified our left and right parts of body.
· The kids learnt some marching steps. We marched on the spot. Then, we marched in a circle. On the command of “Attention”; they all immediately stopped stamping their feet.
b) Choice of sport
· It was a rather windy day. It would be difficult to start badminton practice. Furthermore, the kids didn’t bring any racquets. Thus, we discussed of what to do.
· Finally, some kids suggested Basketball. Yun Zhe said we can practise Badminton after we have completed Basketball training.
· We divided ourselves into 2 groups. They wanted “Thunderstorm” and also “Twister”.
c) Basketball Practice
· We marched to the porch or rather our “Basketball Court”. In the 2 teams, the kids opractise throwing and bouncing. It is crucial to recognise the differences.
· Next, we bounced at one spot. Then, we bounced while walking.
· Finally, the kids ran opposite of me so as to catch my ball. Some even tried runninga and bouncing at the same time. I was glad that both the girls and boys were interested in this game.
Kids must try every activity as to build their stamina and confidence. Then, at the end of this theme; they can decide which sports is their most favourable one!
· “Look where the ball is” was what we learnt most. Being afrad of the ball would cause us avoiding it.
