Taranaki Hockey

This week we have been lucky to have a specialist Hockey coach come in and teach us some hockey skills. We had our first session yesterday and we will be continuing to have more sessions throughout the week. Here are some photos from our first hockey session yesterday. Thank you to Jo from Taranaki Hockey.

Final Day of Hockey

Wednesday saw the last day of working with Rhonda from Action Post: Hockey. We played a game of 'Horse and Jockey.' When we understood the game we were able to use hockey stick to play. We had to work hard to tap the ball around the circle. 

At the very end of the session we got to use all of the skills we have learnt over the last four days and play a game of hockey.

Thank you to Rhonda and Mark from Action Post for taking their time to teach us some of the skills of hockey.

Hockey - Day Three

Today we experienced day three of Hockey. We started the session playing a game of Octopus which is just like Seaweed. When we were used to playing the game we were then able to get our hockey sticks and play the Octopus. Miss Ogle and Miss Carlson were even able to get involved and had to try hitting our hockey balls out of the coned area.

We have one more day of some awesome hockey. I wonder what we will do tomorrow?

Today we had day 2 of learning skills relating to Hockey.

We were introduced to a new game called 'Cats and Mice.'

After a while we then introduced the hockey stick in and used 'sticky' and 'tap tap' to get the hockey balls from one end of the court to the other. 

We have two more days of working with Rhonda from Active Post. We can't wait to see what we will be doing next.

Active Post: Hockey

Today we had Mark from Action Post come to work with all of the classes in the school. He spent 30 minutes with each class learning skills relating to Hockey.

Today we focused on getting back into the activities that Mark taught us last year. 

We have Mark in school again next Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
