Exploring another new sport, rippa rugby.

This term the morning children have been enjoying sharing their skills and knowledge of activites that they do at home with their family and whānau. Today we were lucky enough to have Isaac's Dad Dale in to teach us how to play rippa rugby! 

The children spent a period of time getting ready, putting on rippa belts and tags and then Dale explained some simple rules to how the game works. 

As the children played they wroked interdependently in their teams to pass the ball and help each other get a try. The children showed huge excitment when they got to their end of the feild to get a try. 

The children loved having Dale here to explore the rippa rugby rules, for some of our children rugby was something they have experienced before but for others it was a new experience, and they showed fantastic courage giving it a go and taking a risk. We had some fantastic skills showing through as the children explored this new game, maybe we have some future All Blacks on our hands.
