Cricket Coaching

Today Jaap and Gary from the Cricket Association came to APS to teach us some fundamental cricket skills.

Students from Nile and St.Vincent joined in the fun.

Maia was the roving reporter and took a good number of action pictures of people running around the field.

Noah from St.Vincent made a wonderful catch.

Whaitiri from our room was the catching superstar of the day.

We have had quite a sporty day today with swimming straight after play, movement skills with Helen straight after swimming, lunch time swim and cricket coaching straight after lunch!

It was wonderful to see so many people choosing to participate and contributing to our positive atmosphere!
