New Sports Equipment:

9 Square in the Air (By Alexis W)

9 Square in the Air is a game we have introduced, it is used by the grade 5/6’s and eventually will be used by other grades. The aim of the game is to get to the king square. It is located at the upper yard and is set up in the morning at first break and packed up at the end of the day. This game is played at break and played with teachers permission.

How to play:

In the game the king will start with the ball then they will hit it to someone else in another square. The rally will continue until someone goes out if they hit it twice, don’t get over the bar,  hit the ball out of the squares, go out or hit the ground in your square.

Rules:

Try to avoid hitting the ball out of the court/squares.

Don’t let the ball bounce in your square.

Don't touch the ball twice unless you are king and are starting.

If you go out, go to the back of the line or first square if there is no line.

This game is proving to be a popular addition to our options at break times!

Sports Bins

New equipment has arrived for our sports bins!

This includes new footballs, netballs, basketballs, soccer balls and bouncy volleyball to play with at break times.
