Handball Games – part of Active Schools Week Report by Dennison

We went outside on Friday to take part in handball games being played as part of Active Schools Week. 5^THand 6^th Classes took part in the event and the kids from 1^st to 4^th were on the side-lines watching the match. Some of the staff also took part in the event. There were seven teams of mixed classes and staff.

The rules:

• Once you got the ball you could not move.
• While you had the ball no one could tackle you.
• The only way you could move forward was by passing the ball.
• You can move when you no longer had the ball.
• The games were 3 minutes long because of time pressure.

My team won their only match and had a great time doing it. It was a nice way to get some of the classes moving and teaching the younger children about handball. I would suggest a handball team to be established by the Sports Committee in the future.
