Tiddlywinks Championship

With all the rainy weather we have had this week I decided we needed more indoor games that can be played in groups.  I asked the class if they had ever played Tiddlywinks? The answer no - many knew how to flick counters but never at a target or within a time frame for a competition.

The class quickly sorted themselves into four teams and were given a colour set of counters.  There were many different methods applied - but we soon discovered none were very accurate.  Some students attempted to cheat, but were very quickly disqualified!

Hope you give Tiddlywinks a go at home - it's easy to set up. 

Noo shows his skills

On Fridays we have Nicola Walker take students for music lessons.  There are singing, keyboard, ukelele and recorder lessons.

Noo attends keyboard lessons and this week he came and shared with us.   We were really impressed.

Hockey with Mike

Mike from Mid Canterbury Hockey will be teaching us some hockey skills.  Today we were making sure we had control of the sticks and balls.

To complete the session we had a game of "Rob the Nest".  This was quite tricky as everyone wanted to maintain speed, but sometimes speed meant they lost control of the ball.
