For KiwiSport this term, our class are learning the required skills for cricket. Some people in our class already knew how to play, but majority of us were learning a sport that was a bit different.
The first skill we learnt was catching. When we are catching a cricket ball, our pinky fingers and palms need to be touching. Half the class got into pairs and went with Jesse. The rest of the class went with Charlie.
The group that went with Jesse were able to practice the new skill in the partners that they chose. We also played a game with her. The aim of the game was to catch the most balls without dropping it. When the ball was dropped, we had to start again from one.
Charlie got his group to line up in two lines so they could toss the ball to one another. We had to practice the catching skill that had been taught to us. Charlie made it a little bit more fun by making them speed it up to see how fast we could do it.
We had so much fun learning new skills in KiwiSport and can't wait to see what else Charlie and Jesse have in store for us. Thank you Charlie and Jesse!
