Otago Cricket Visits

We have been lucky enough to have a couple of visits from Otago Cricket. We had two visits where we played some warm-up games and practiced our cricket skills. Thanks to Eli and Dion from Otago Cricket for the fun sessions. Check out some photos below.

Sports Activator

Today we had a visit from Mitch who is our Sports Activator for this term. The focus today was cricket. We began with a quick warm-up game of turning cones. We were in two teams and had to turn up as many cones as we could. The other team would have to turn them back the other way. It was a very fast paced and exciting game! Next, we moved onto some cricket skills. We worked on our catching skills where Mitch would throw us really high balls and we had to run in and catch them. Then it was time to practice our running between the wickets. We also worked on our bowling where we had to bowl at the stumps. It was a really fun session. Thanks Mitch for coming along, we can’t wait for your next session.

Cricket

Yesterday afternoon we had a visit from Shaun from Otago Cricket who came to teach us some cricket skills. We learned lots of new skills involving throwing and catching. Some of us were learning the technique of how to bowl correctly. You need to have a straight arm, your fingers are in bunny ears when you hold the ball and you have to "pull the chain" with your non-bowling hand to get the motion. At the end we played a game of 3-bat cricket which was very fast and exciting. We have another cricket session next week which we are all looking forward to.
