Today for PE, the Auckland aces came to teach Twp 4 and 6 about Cricket. Something we found difficult was learning the new games. Something we found easy was playing the games we knew! Have you ever been to a Cricket game before? Happy blogging!
Cricket - 7/12/2021.
On Tuesday, Twp 6 and 4 had our last session with the Auckland Aces. We first practised our aims, we played this game by throwing it up in the air then trying to catch it. We then formed into a group with 4 or 5 people and started to practice our throws. When we reached 20 catches we had to redo it but with one hand.
After the warm ups we played a quick game of Powerplayer. When we finished powerplayer we played netball but cricket style. It’s when we have a tennis ball and have to throw the ball into the other team’s square or territory.
When we finished playing with the tennis ball we practised our swings with the cricket bat. The aim of the game was to try and hit the tennis ball to see how far it goes. A few minutes later we all had to grab our tennis ball and go into groups of 4. The game was to knock
down all three stumps and whichever group knocked it down first won.
It was only a couple minutes later till we had to go back to our class. We all said ‘goodbye’ to our coaches then they told us ‘We’ll see you next time’!
