Give them something and tell them to throw it other people.

Yesterday was PE day. I took the 8's and under in what I hoped was a fun filled PE lesson. We worked mainly on hand eye co-ordination by using balls as our main tool.

We started off using the so-ordinated kids pack I received a year or so ago - (I can't find the website. I hope they haven't folded as it was a great idea). The older kids had no problem doing these exercises, the little kids had more problems but that was too be expected.

After this is was a quick jog across to the other side of the field to the basketball square where we spent the majority of our time.

One of the kids in my group is a natural leader and is full of ideas. You can pretty much give him anything and he will be able to make a game from it, suitable for the group. The majority of the kids naturally, willingly, follow him as well.
Some of the things we did was basketball dribbling, basketball passing, handball (smaller and harder to hit balls), piggy in the middle (3 different versions), follow the leader, obstacle course and a relay type of game. Oh, we also played a mini game of football, with altered rules because everyone wanted to be captain.

Apart from PE, my in-laws arrived yesterday and we had our house guest go pick them up after which we traded cars and I spent 10 minutes or more getting a tired M4 into a seat.

Last night was also a bread run and we came home with heaps, and heaps, and heaps. Now to get rid of it all.
I stopped doing work at 9.30pm last night.

Our house guest is off to China today, he should be in Sydney awaiting his flight out of Australia by now.

M4 just came to me with vegemite on her tummy, tried to lick it off and loudly exclaimed "I can't reach it"
