Getting Active and Moving

Today Matua Bo came to visit Room 5 to teach us some quick and simple ways of getting our blood pumping and heart racing.  It doesn't have to take up a lot of time.  Keeping our mind and body fit and healthy can be achieved in as little as five to ten minutes a day.

The children had a quick warm up of knee and shoulder boxing.  In pairs or groups of three, you have to try and tag the knees or shoulders of your opponent, while trying to avoid being tagged in return.  Matua Bo then had the students rotate through four stations with differing tasks for 30 seconds, then rest for 30 seconds.
