Strike Percussion

They started with playing the drums and I could see that tired them out. It was so loud. Last year they came to Te Mata and it was really cool. I could see them sweating. I could also see them putting smiles on people’s faces. I could feel the vibration on the ground and it felt funny. It was so loud I could feel my heart pumping in my chest. They didn’t have the sound of rain so we had to make the sound with our mouths. I could rain.

Rm 10 crab soccer





This week for PE, it was raining outside so we headed over to the hall for a game of crab soccer. Prior to starting the game we had some relays to warm ourselves up and to get the heart pumping! A special shout out to Brooke and Ashley who did twice as much exercise during the relays as anyone else. Their team was short two people and they pushed the limits out of the stratosphere to really compete at a very high level in comparison to other teams. It was another opportunity for me to see resilience in action as some relays required a problem solving approach to conquer them. The game of crab soccer was so much fun to watch. The ball ended up flying in so many different directions and the crabs were speedy at recovering it and ensuring it travelled in the correct direction. Got to love PE in the hall when the weather is miserable outside!
