Canterbury Cricket

Today Canterbury Cricket came to school and took all of Team Waka and Team Arawai for a cricket skills session.

First we played a warm up game called Snowball Tag, then we practised catching by making a 'big cup' for our hot chocolate ball and then bringing it into our chests.  Next we practised throwing...the best part was aiming to hit the coaches and Mrs Robertson! Finally we practised hitting the ball off of cones and fielding the ball in a mini cricket match.

We got given a really cool poster about cricket, an information slip in case we want to sign up for cricket, and our very own foam cricket ball to keep.

We had so much fun and lots of us are thinking of playing cricket at morning tea or lunchtime, or even joining a team!

Thanks Canterbury Cricket!
