Louisa, Norah, Alysia and Katherine's Rugby Learning Story

Learners: Louisa, Norah, Katherine & Alysia     Learning Coach: T.Dillner           Date: 28.7.15

Learning Area: Physical Education - Rugby Skills

Learning Observed

Recently, the Year 3s have been learning about how to hold and pass a rugby ball. Katherine, Louisa, Norah and Alysia were in a small group working together. Firstly, they had time to practice holding the ball with their hands making a downward ‘L’ shape. Next, they had to try passing to each other. They aimed by facing the side of their bodies to the person they want to receive the ball, and passed by moving the ball in a line from hip to hip. As a challenge, all of the groups had to count how many passes they could make without dropping the ball in a period of time. Louisa, Norah, Alysia & Katherine made over 70 passes! The most out of all the groups!

Evidence of learning

Key Competencies/Vision Principles

This task required a lot of collaboration, which all four girls were able to do. They communicated to each other by calling the name of the person who would receive the pass. They were also able to encourage each other by giving tips and reminders of how to be successful (Relating to Others). Louisa, Alysia, Katherine and Norah all increased their capability when working with rugby balls. This was something new for all of them and they all had positive attitudes to ensure they would make progress in this area. They are now more confident and at ease with using a rugby ball (Managing Self).

Next Learning Steps

Remain positive in the face of difficulty, should it arise. During break times choose to play with a rugby ball and do similar drills/activities as the ones we have be doing during learning time. Use their new skills to teach or support other learners.
