Do you know how to crab walk?

On Friday 20th of May, Room 7 went to the top court for our third Netball session with Tina. First we introduced ourselves by saying our names in a circle and Tina brought her friend Christine with her today.

After introducing ourselves in a circle She told us to jog to the first line and back as our warm up.

Then we paired and my partner was Soane. We practised defending our partner today by learning to crab walk to the line and back. We were numbered so that we had enough room to move like a crab.

Soon our session ended and our team name is called Seven stars.I called out, Seven stars on three one two, Seven stars!"

Learning intention: We are learning to write a recount.

Success criteria: I know I can do this when I write a recount of my third Netball session. 

Netball is good for building our fitness!

 On Friday the 13th, after morning tea we had our second Netball session. Our Coaches names were Tina and Lisa. Tina taught us to turn our hips to get away from the defender in Netball.

First, we practised turning our hips and driving forward instead of moving from side to side.Then we had to pair up and my partner was Soane. One of us was the defender and the other was an attacker. I was the defender first and Soane was the attacker. He had to dodge me and I was defending him. 

Then it was my turn and when I dodged him, however my head was moving instead of my hips. After that they were saying that when they were at the other school they played a game so they wanted us to play the game she played with the other school. When our number was called out, we had to grab the basketball and then pass it to everyone on our team. After we had done that, we had to run to the hoop and take a shot. Whichever team got a shot in the hoop got a point for their team. We had the most points so we won.

My favourite part was playing against the other team because it was a lot of fun passing the ball to my whole team and shooting the ball into the hoop.

Learning intention: We are learning to write a recount.

Success criteria: I know I can do this when I follow the structure of recount to write about my second Netball session.
