Hockey

On Monday at school I walked  to the school hall joyfully to learn how to play hockey.I was so excited because I have never ever played hockey before. We needed a hockey stick that was the same size or shorter than my belly button.I wanted to choose a blue or green one but they were all big.I had to grab a shorter one because I was the smallest one in the class.

First we played a warm up game called Rob the Nest.We used hockey sticks,hoops and hockey balls.We put all the balls in the center hoop for the next round.We each had a hockey stick and a nest. We had to use the hockey stick to control the balls one at a time.The team that had the most was the winner.

Then we got taught to dribble a hockey ball and control it with our body and stick .We also learnt to stop the ball by dribbling the ball and turning the hockey stick to the front  to stop the ball.

Next we learnt to juggle a hockey ball. We juggled the ball by using the straight side of the hockey stick to bounce the ball and catch it. We had to at least bounce it three times and catch with our left hand.

Finally at the end of the lesson we played a real game of hockey.The  green and yellow team  played against the blue & orange team. All of us had been given a number. When the hockey teacher called a number the people with the same number had to go against the other team number. The teacher called out three numbers and if the number was yours you had to go against the other number.”I felt tired and pooped but it was AMAZING!!!’

It was like going to a theme park, but if we made it FANTASTIC!That was my day at hockey.

  

It was wildly amazing.

You should always try something new before you walk away!.
