Today we had a visit from Graham from Taupo Hockey Club. He came to teach us some hockey skills. First we learnt how to hold the stick correctly - left hand at the top of the stick and right hand on the tape halfway down. He showed us how to strike a hockey pose with our legs bent. Next we practiced dribbling the ball. Graham told us to think of the ball as a puppy on a leash! It was important that we didn't let our 'puppy' (the ball) run away from us.
We played a game called traffic lights where we needed to dribble the ball at different speeds. Next we played Rob the Nest hockey styles which was madness but plenty of fun! We finished the lesson with mini games of hockey against each other. Miss Fraser and Mrs Mason were extremely impressed with our skills!
Check out the photos of Room 19 and the video of Room 20...
Looks like you all had a great time! Potential new winter sport for some maybe!
