Game of Chairs

This week we learnt a new game to play for P.E it's called Chairs.
You need a chalk to draw the outline and the x is where  the tagger starts from. The person to be chased starts in the circle.
In this game one team lines up on the yellow line and one person starts at the big x and that's the green team.
The other team is the black team they have to line up on the white line and there's a big circle, then one person at a time stands in the circle. 
If someone gets tagged from the green team the black team runs then the green team has to try catch you, if you run out the outline your out.
The black team can run through people and the green team tags the people in the middle or he/her can run around the people that's in the middle.
This game is cool because there's running in it.

Flag Football

Flag Football

WALT:The Skills about Flag Football

On Monday Room 8 and I went to Kiwisport in the afternoon,

When we went to the hall there were two coaches for football.
They taught us how to throw a football, It's when you hold the ball with
your pointing finger on the white line.  Then rest of your fingers on the
laces and we had to leave a hole in the middle of our hand.

Next we learned to catch the ball, you have to have your fingers in a
diamond shape. So when they throw the ball you can catch it.

After we learned how to hold the ball, it's when you put the ball up to
your chest and you also hold the ball sideways.

Lastly they taught us about the position is quarterback, wide receiver
and half back.

I enjoyed the part when we were throwing the football to make it spin.
