Showing confidence

This week some of the leaders were unable to make it due to sporting committments but the 4 that were with the group were fantastic and showed exactly how much had been developed over the last few weeks.  Between them they quickly organised a great session and split the responsibilities up.  the session got off to a great start and they decided to do some competitive activity in two teams.  As a warm up they split the group in half and engaged the students with some numeracy work.  Calling out maths questions that the students had to quickly answer for a chance to have a shot at goal. the boys were really trying hard to get the answers correct and were loving the activity.

Star of the session was Harley.  Harley was a little nervous about entering the pool 4 weeks ago, he certainly did not want to get his face wet.  This week (after working with one of the leaders over the last few weeks on water confidence) he not only put his head in the water but he was swimming!!!!!  Well done Harley, great resilience and you are showing so much more confidence.  This has come from his own motivation, supported by the leaders to keep him going.

In the game the boys were breaking lots of rules at first but the leaders kept on top of things and developed the game as it went to ensure all were involved, they added in a second ball to make sure that there was more opportunity to touch the ball.  Great thinking developed from their Dragon Multi Skills training.

Below is a little video of the session
