Play is the Way

Last week Prep and Year 1 students were introduced to a new game Gift Ball.

This game requires players to call out to each other, make eye contact, respond politely, and to effectively pass a ball. Children who master this game are communicating effectively, establishing relationships and managing impulsive behaviour.

Students in the upper grades revisited some earlier games and endeavoured to master Timeball to the highest level. This game requires the class to play as one team with success largely dependent upon everyone making decisions for the good of the whole team.

Effective communication, self-regulation, strategic and quick thinking, concentration and persistence are a must for success in this game.
