Basketball lesson 2

Welcome back Bloggers 

Today we had basketball training again. This time the coach (Jhalal) taught us five different passes the first one was overhead pass course you know what it is. The next pass is shoulder pass both right and left I found the right shoulder pass easier and the left harder. So after that we had the chest pass we had to throw the basketball to the other persons chest. Then we had the bounce pass this pass was the easiest of all the since you just had to bounce it to the other person. Between the passes Jhalal told us the most important thing is technique not speed or power. 

Then we played game called ball tag. In 1 team there were girls and in the other there were boys the game was that first boys would take the ball and try touch the girls by passing you can't throw the ball at people. Once you got close enough you had to touch the girl before they ran away. 

I'm glad I helped Aaron catch a girl. 
 What I enjoyed was playing the game ball tag since you had to work as a team to make the girls out. I want to work on my left shoulder pass and the over head pass just a little bit.

Basketball training

Welcome back bloggers

Today we had basketball training, it was astonishing. I was not expecting it to be this fun. The coach's name was Jelal, so the first thing was mastering the stance. It was very easy to master the stance. The coach told us to bend our legs and hands. After that we did a dribbling drills the coach told us that if you use your fingertips since we had more control. We  had to dribble with a basketball.

We had to choose a buddy  as well,  so you had to take turns each to use the basketball. Coach Jelal told us that we had to move the ball around both our hands and make sure both our hands are being used. I loved the end because we got to play a game at first when he said we were gonna play a game I thought he said that we were gonna play a match. But what he meant was just to  play a shooting game. Their was a shooting group and a dribbling group.

I was in the shooting group I scored one out of my two chances two score and the dribbling had to dribble through the cones and go around in a circle and if they reached the other side they would get a point. If we scored the person who was dribbling to the other side had to stop and stay there. I was the first person to score in the top 11 people that took shots.

Here are a few photos.

Camp

Hello Bloggers

From 31/6/2019 to 2/7/2019 The year sixes and year fives went to a camp. Before we went to the camp the teachers divided all the children that are going to camp to four groups. I was in the last group it was called Wha based on something in Maori. There would be different coaches for each activity their were four activities.

The first activity me and my group did was rock climbing there were three stages of the rock climbing that we had to complete. The first stage was the mini version of the big rock climbing. The second one was walking on a rope with help of other people on the other side, to make sure that if you fell over the others on the other side would catch the person, if the person fell.

Activity 2 was making a raft. At first the coach said to that he would make us into 3 groups also there were 10 people in my group. So he gave each group a compass and a place to check what was the degree if we got it right as he did we had to go look for a envelope. There would be a picture of something inside it. When the 3 groups came back at the hall after finding 3 envelopes each group. There would be 2 pictures inside each envelope. After we finished we the entire group Wha had to decide what pictures they wanted to use to make a raft. We used a 2 kayaks even though we didn't use them, we used rope,wood and barrels. We made the raft in shallow water one person for some reason didn't get into the water to help or anything like that her name was Yazmine. She might have had a fear of water or something. Otherwise everything was good also we had some free time to play with sailors. Oh no I ruined the surprise. Anyway activity 3 was my least favourite. The coach gave us maps, we had to be in smaller groups of two. The coach also gave us pictures of the places we had to find their were eleven of them she said we just needed to get four. Then she made something called Roro it was a water boiled to be purified and then raspberry flavour added to it.

 The last and best activity in my opinion was the sailing. We had to put our togs on and a swimsuit. Then everyone got on a boat, we had to use to  two boats since  their were ten people in our group six girls got on one boat and four boys got on one boat. Boys had the blue boat and girls had yellow. We
went near a place near our beach called Granny's bay and we played there for half an hour. When we went back to camp the wind was very fast. So we went quick as ever. The place we went for camp was called MERC, M stands for something which I forgot. E stands for Education. R stands for something and so does C. I must have forgotten everything. Thanks. Ashwin.
