Touch Rugby

At Panmure Bridge School the year seven and eights students had kiwisport which was touch rugby. First we exercised a little bit by jogging and stretching. When we were finished that we had a game of ball rush, where four people had rugby balls and had to tag the runners with it. When everyone had a turn being in we had a game of real touch. We were put in to three groups. When we played we worked as team to get a try. Some of us learnt that if the dummy gets touched it is the other teams ball.

Touch Rugby

Today in the afternoon we had another session of touch with Trevor. To start us off we all practiced scooping the ball and placing it down like your scoring a try. After that we practiced placing the ball through our legs and the person has to pick it up and pass it back to you. When we finished that the boys and girls were split into to groups and played two different games. The first game that I played, was when we all had to stand in a circle and pass the ball clockwise. If you drop the ball you are out. The second game I played was when we had to stand in two lines. One line was the rats and the other side was the rabbits. If Trevor called rabbits, the rabbits had to run backwards and the rats had to try and catch them. The same thing happens if Trevor calls rats. I think that everyone had a good time and enjoyed learning new skills.

Kiwisport - Touch Rugby

For Kiwisport we have Touch Rugby for the first part of this term. Since it was raining we had Kiwisport was in the hall. When we got there the instructor introduced himself. His name was Trevor. To start us we had to get into four groups. We learnt how to tap the ball and how to plant it if you get touched. After we did that, in our group each person has to stand next to a cone and the person at the end has to run in between each person in your group. At the end we all played a game. We had to spreed out in a circle and had to pass the rugby balls to the person who is on the left side of you. If you drop the ball you have to sit down and that means you are put. Also if you throw a bad pass the person who threw it is out.
