Today, our lesson was held inside as the weather permitted us from using the outdoor facilities. Due to the this, we had to change our sessions again.
After the register, i took the group, introduced myself and Kurt, told them that we was doing the warm up and got them to stand up. After that, Kurt explained what the warm up consisted of.
The warm up was basic, the kids had to run round the grid to start off with. Then we introduced one ball, then two, then three which they had to pass round. After two minutes, we realised that it was too crowded and children just ran to the ball screaming. So, we stopped the group and split them into two groups. I had one and Kurt had the other. We had half of a badminton court each. I explained to the children that they had to run into space before recieving the ball.
Eventhough this warm up didn't go to plan, it still was successful as the children enjoyed it, got them thinking, made them aware and got their heart rate increasing.
Then we passed the group onto Dan who then explained the 'Shark Game.' We repeated this game another two times as the kids had a lot of fun and enjoyed it. All the coaches got involved in this game which was a huge possitive as the children liked the competetivness which made them try harder and it got them excited.
After this game, we introduced relays. We also repeated this three times.We split the group into two, the problem with this was that we had kids waiting around in very little space which made in confusing and over crowded.One of the races, Josey started crying as somebody pushed in the queue so i took her to the side and made sure she was okay then i lined her back up and then she carried on with the race straight away.
We then calmed the children down as they had to go back to class.
I thought the session went well. I could of improved my teaching as i didn't get involved as much as i would of liked to but when i was involved, i was loud and clear which enabled the kids to understand what to do. Plus, i encouraged a lot by clapping and saying well done, i got to know them as i spoke to quite a few which allowed everybody to feel comfortable around me.
