Rippa Rugby

Welcome back bloggers

Its been a while since I have posted anything so I thought of posting about rippa rugby and I decided to post it. We have had rippa for 5 weeks and our last session happened this week on Wednesday. Our coaches name was Tidda. We learnt to pass the ball, receive the ball after someone passes it to you.

We also were taught how to do scrums and Lineouts. Scrums is a 3 side each team and we have to bind the heads together and then the ref will say the words crouch, bind and then set then another player would come at then put the ball into the scrum and then the people who were doing the scrum would kick it back. A scrum is held if you knock the ball on or you do a forward pass.

Now lineouts there would be 5 people in lineouts in a straight line and there was a person which was the throwing the ball in from out and the people who were in the straight line they would jump up and punch the ball into there side. Also there were no bumping or tackling (but I got bumped of for some reason by some people). By the way just to tell you but Lineouts are only held if the person with the ball goes out of boundaries. My defense technique is to wait for the person to come close to me so it would be easier for me to to rip the rip.

Please give me some helpful comments about what I could mention next time when I do a blog post?

Our Secret Mission

Hi super Bloggers

Well last Monday Room 6 and Room 8 had a secret mission so room 8 were in my class and and their class was closed. Miss Shresta and Miss Eagleson were also in my class. We also got super hero names my name was Alpha Phoenix. How I got my name was there was this slide on the Active Panel there was a name for each letter so if the first letter in my name was A it would be Alpha and the last name would Phoenix same thing but the month you were born. I am hoping we can do this again with Room 8. Here is the google slides which I made.         

Rippa Rugby

Welcome back bloggers

So for the past few weeks we have been having Rippa Rugby lessons. At the moment I am typing this blog post we have had 3 lessons in the first lesson we just learn how to pass. We also had a game to do with passing. The game was like there would be 2 groups in 1 group there would 3 people in a row. They had to pass the ball backwards while passing. After that we just did a few kicks and learned how to kick the ball. After those 2 activities we had a match. There were no scrums or lineouts if goes out for touch or the ball gets knocked we would tap and pass. In that game we drawed  the game 2-2. I played as a winger I didn't get the ball that much I just got it once and ran with the it and nearly scored. The person that got the most carries was Jamal if you haven't checked his blog check it out. Anyways whenever Jamal got the ball which was 9 times he would run out for touch he is very fast (slow).

In the second session the teacher taught us how to do scrums and Lineouts (Which I already know). I wanted to do Scrums with pushing, but pushing isn't allowed (I was so sad) after that we had a 20 minute match which my team won this time. Luckily enough I got a hat trick of tries. The first try was I had a 1v1 because everyone else on the other team was offside. I scored the try after jumping away from the oppositions player. My second try was the best I stepped 3 people with 1 step and then I had another 1v1 and I scored the try same with my next try.

In session 3 we only played games no matches we had 1v1 (which were the easiest ever) we also had a game where we would passing for 2 teams and which teams finished passing first would win. 

Swimming sessions

Hello Bloggers

Well I am blogging because of  swimming lessons. Now let's go straight into the swimming. In our first session everyone was in the same pool because everyone was starting at beginner. I think I didn't do that well. I did better in the second session than I did in the first session. In the first session we were just understanding the basics such as forward paddling and backward paddling. We would also duck underwater to see who could stay under the water longest. The teachers didn't organise this we would do it in our own time.

It was pretty cool, anyways in the second session we practised forward swimming and backward paddling. In the second session the coach was very stern with us. The people that were in my group were Jashaia, Damian, Umair, Leilani and Emily.  Tomorrow is our final swimming session because today is November 11. I am hoping to do well in my last day for swimming at school. There won be swimming on Thursday though, because we will be going on a trip to the Museum for two days. But thats  another story to tell.
