Kiwi Sport

This week Thursday we had kiwi sport on the courts with coach Mr Hamish. Today we were focusing on rippa. First everyone had to get a belt and 2 tags to put on each side of the belt. In the first activity we played a everybody is it where everyone was in and people had to try to get other people's tag and put the belt on their. We had to stay in a certain area. Once you got a tag from someone else, you could put it on your own belt. The goal was to get as much tags on your belt. For the first few games the most people got was 4. For the last round I was really focused on stealing tags for my own, and I was able to get the most with 7. Next we played rats and rabbits where there were two teams. To find the teams, we had to all get into partners and one partner stood on one side and the other partner stood on the other side. My partner was Sandra. On one side there was a row of yellow cones and on the other, there were orange cones. If Mr Hamish said orange, the people that were on the side of the orange had to run and the partners had to get them and rip their tag off. If Mr Hamish said yellow, then the yellow side had to run and their partner had to get them and rip their tag off. The next game we played was Ripparush which was like bullrush but it is rippa-rugby style. Since me and Sione won the last game we were the taggers or rippers while everyone one else were the runners. Mr Hamish would say something and whoever had it they would run, and if he whistled everyone ran. If you tag was ripped by one of the rippers then you had to join them. For the last activity we were split into 3 teams, One team put on bibs and the other 2 were non bibs. 2 Teams played at a time. This game we played was the same game we played last week. After a few rounds the bibs or non bibs team switched over with the team that wasn't playing. Some teams had good communication and passing which lead them to scoring many goals. Finally we took off the belts and tagged and went back to class.

Kiwi Sport | Rippa Rugby

This week LS1 had kiwi sport in the hall with Mr Hamish playing rip-pa rugby. First the class was split into 3 teams. Two teams played first. On each ends of the hall there were a row of cones set up. One team wore bibs and the other wore no bibs. The teams had to try to get a goal by touching the rugby ball at the cone line. We had to pass the ball to the player from year team to get the ball across. Then we played so that you could run with the ball but still pass. I scored some goals and so did my team mates, we all worked together. Then we practiced passing the ball down in our teams. We stood in lines and each team had a ball at the start of the line. When Mr Hamish (the rip-pa rugby coach) said go, the ball had to be passed down to the end at the last person and back up to the first person in the line. When the team finish they had to hold the ball up above their head. We only had a few rounds of this and our team won a couple of them. Mr Hamish asked us a few questions about rip-pa rugby and gave us some tips like how we should pass the ball as soon as we get it. We played some more games with the 3 teams but this time if the you had the ball and the other team tapped you on the shoulders with both each of their hands you had to pass it. Today we were learning the basics and a some activities before playing real rip-pa rugby.

Kiwi Sport | Rippa Rugby

This week for kiwi sport we had rippa rugby. Instead we played on the field with Mr Ogilve and learnt a few things that we would be doing in the actual kiwi sport lessons because the coach wasn't here. First we played got into pairs then numbered ourselves 1 or 2 My partner was Alayah. Alayah was 2 and I was 1. 2's went on the feild and wore no bibs and 1's got a bib and put it on. First we played everyone is it. The name is self explanatory, everyone is in and if you were tagged you had to sit out. After a few rounds of that we made it more hard by having when people got out they could tag someone that passed them but they had to sit in the same spot. After a few rounds of that we played a different game using 2 rugby balls. The bibs vs non bibs had a competition who could get all the people out with the rugby balls in the fast time. You only had a minute. We couldn't move around with the ball so we had to pass it. Bibs won. Then we practised doing a backward pass by having the team players pass back to each other until the reach a bib that was set on the feild. When we got to the bib we had to tap the ball on the bib and sit down. We had a few practised then we had a competition. In the end we came back to class.
