Having a laugh in P.E....

I recently took a class down for some track and field P.E. at a local College where they generously let us make good use of their track and erm...field. We had a good session doing relay, long jump in the sandpit etc.

The pupils also have the opportunity to train in throwing events, namely shot and javelin. Now not being healthy or particularly safe when it comes to these matters we felt it best that I not teach the students with the real deal so we set out to get the foam javelins used for practice and some lightweight balls.

While there I found something fantastic - a lightweight, safe, practice version of...









The Hammer Throw!! It was brilliant. My attempt at 'proper techniqu' was rubbish, but then we just got around to flinging the thing and it went miles - everyone enjoyed it and we had a great time.

I don't know where you get them from and I know they're not toys, but it was just fantastic. I do wanna be fair to the guy in the picture and state that he is using a proper hammer so if it looks like that and weighs a tonne - don't use it!!!
