Designing a Game

                                                    Physical Education

Koru 2 children had to design games that would appeal to children at school. They had to include a name, equipment, instructions both in pictures and words and to cover any safety issues that may be a factor in their game. 

Finally they had to teach their games to other students. At the end of the game the children that played gave the children that designed the game feedback. The children that designed the game had to give the participants feedback on how well they went.

Dodgeball

Last Friday we had two Canterbury Dodgeball Players come to teach Koru 2 some dodgeball skills and tactics to help us work as a team. We were given shirts from a range of New Zealand and international teams to wear whilst we practised our skills and played a game.

Congratulations to Chelden and Briana for showing team work and determination. These two children were chosen as the player of their games and were given a Canterbury Vikings singlet to keep.

Have a-go day

Today we had a number of coaches showing off their sports at school. Afterwards children received information about how to join our local clubs.
