How we turn PE into writing.

Over the past couple of weeks we have been learning some softball skills (catching, pitching, batting).  We have put these skills into practice by playing a round robin tournament.  This is where we are split into 4 teams and all compete against each other for the grand champion title.  We don't only get points for the runs we score, but also for team work, positive attitudes, leadership and sportsmanship.  We have had some very close games so far.

What do the two teams not playing each game do?  They become sports reporters!  Armed with notepaper, iPad and google docs we watch and record the plays of the game.  Who won the toss, notable players, the weather, the atmosphere and interviews with players.  We take creative photos and have even used our voice recorder to help take notes.  We are in the process of writing our sports reviews up so they are attractive to our readers.  Watch our blogs as these will be appearing on these in the next couple of weeks.
