Kia Ora, Talofa, Malo lelei, and Welcome to the Room 3 Blogsite. We are a Year 5/6 class at Our Lady of the Assumption School, Christchurch, New Zealand. Our teacher is Mr Atherton. The classroom blog is to share the children's work, as well as engaging parents in to the activities of the Room 3 classroom. Please feel free to comment on our blog. We hope you enjoy our blog.
Today the children explored their first lesson of 'On a Level Playing Field.' The unit is about sportsmanship, fairness and equality.
The children brainstormed ideas about what it means to be fair. Room 3 had many great ideas such as it is equal opportunity, sharing, kindness, being respectful etc.
We talked about the role of the referee in sports and how it is their job to ensure the game is played fair. Although some decisions may be incorrect, human error occurs. Respect of the officials in charge is important.
The video below is Colin Croft from the West Indies playing New Zealand in cricket in 1980. He is called for a no ball, because his bowling stance are outside the popping crease. His reaction to the umpire is not sportsmanlike.
Although the referee has to officiate the games sometimes the players help him make his decision with some fantastic acting.
