Conrad's Rugby

On Thursday we do PE and we do rugby. People from Tasman Rugby called Ferne, Brendan and Shawn teach us how to pass, do line outs, scrums and how to tackle.

My favourite game was the Banner game because we get to rip so we can get other's tags. This is a game where you are in twos and you have to rip the tags off the other teams belts. At the end you count up your tags and whoever has the most wins.

There was also a game where there were balls in the middle of the court and there were four teams. When Shawn said go we had to run and get as many balls as we could and we could steal other's balls too. We also had a 'guard dog' who ripped off the player's tags and they had to drop the ball where they were. The team who had the most balls won the game.

We then had to put the balls back in the middle and do line outs. One person from our team was the hooker and they threw the ball into the middle of the line out. You had to be a metre away from the other team and the second person on the front line lifts up the first person. The hooker then throws the ball and the other team has to get the ball.

With scrums there were three people; two people are the props and one is the hooker. Two people go behind the other person - there are two Locks and a person behind them.

When the game starts the players do 'Paper/Scissors/Rock' and whoever wins gets to choose to receive or kick. They then kick the ball; if they droop the ball it's a scrum and they can score a try and conversion and penalty. When it's half time they get a drink and something to eat. And the coach talks to them about the game then they shake hands and someone gets player of the day and they go home.

Team Building Day!

On the 4th of March,  Fifeshire and Monaco had their Team Building Day at Isel Park.
We did lots of activities involving teamwork. One of the activities we did was
The Spider's Web.
We had to get through the net to the other side without touching both the net and the ground at the same time. We also could not go through the same hole twice. Some people jumped through, while others got help by standing on people's backs.
It was challenging trying to get through the net and involved a lot of help from others.

Another activity was Tangled.
We all had to stand in a circle and hold another person's hand from the other side of the circle. But we were not allowed to hold the person's hand beside us. Then we had to untangle ourselves from the group without letting go.


Our next activity was The Three Legged Race.
We had to do this in partners. We strapped one of our legs to one of our partner's legs. Then we raced the other groups. 
Another activity was where you had to put your head on the top of the bat and spin around ten times. Then you had to run to a wicket and back.

The last activity was where you had to guide your blindfolded partner without touching them around a course.

Team Building day was awesome because we got to work with people in our class and house. We also got to learn new games and have fun.
