Track and Field was the unit second graders worked on during May.
After a discussion about each event in this sport, our students focused on im-
proving their running and jumping skills.
We ran various distances: short, middle and long, in order to improve our
speed and stamina. We practiced our agility, starting from different positions
and ran races starting from standing or sprint-start positions.
A variety of exercises with hurdles prepared us well for running over them. Our
goal was not to race against each other, but to overcome hurdles without hesi-
tation.
Relay races were something we all enjoyed a lot. We practiced running with a
baton and handing it off to team mates as well as running our fastest for the
team.
Throughout the unit we’ve learnt that people keep records of the results in
Track and Field and that the best results are called world records. We all were
amazed with the length of the world’s longest jump by a man: 8.95m. We were
curious to find out how many jumps it would take us to reach that distance, so
we measured the length of our long-jump and calculated it. Aside from the long
-jump we practiced proper take-off and landing techniques for the long-jump
into the sand box.
The most important thing for our second graders was not to beat the world’ rec-
ord yet, but to try their best and become better with each attempt. But…… one
day, maybe…….who knows?
Stay healthy through sports!
