Our students took advantage of the sunny spring weather at the beginning of the month to
work on their track and field skills.
We started with running events, such as running middle and short distances. The main
focus was on proper running technique, including our foot position and arm motions, as well
as on the importance of proper breathing. Students were involved in individual and pair
activities in order to improve their technique and endurance, as well as to increase speed
and agility.
Since a good start is crucial for any race, especially for short distances, we practiced start-
ing on signals from different positions. Later, we took part in short distance races, as well
as in relay races. We practiced running with a baton along with a hand-off technique. Stu-
dents were very excited about these races: they all participated wholeheartedly, while being
very supportive to their team runners and displaying great sportsmanship towards other
teams.
The biggest challenge was probably running hurdles, which were higher than the year be-
fore. After spending some time exercising the lead and trail leg, we got used to the height
of the hurdles and dared ourselves to run over them. Although some of the students had
doubts about completing the run, they all faced the challenge bravely and were eagerly
looking forward their next try! We also worked on improving our jumping skills by practicing
the broad, the long and the high jumps. Our focus was on take-off and landing techniques,
as well as on the approach to the take-off area.
The end of the year Physical Fitness test is ahead of us. We have been working on our
stamina, strength, agility and flexibility, thus we all believe that we have improved through-
out the year.
Stay healthy through sports!
