Today we learned some basic skills for touch rugby.
First we learned how to tap the ball, score a try, catch, and pass the ball.
Afterwards we played passing drills to get better at committing to the ball and catching.
I had fun doing this activity because it had cool challenges.
Insulators are used to stop heat from moving place to place. Five materials were tested for the ability to insulate: plastic, paper, polystyrene, glass, and metal.
The best insulator for keeping it warm were glass and polystyrene. The worst insulator were plastic, paper, and metal.
The best insulator for keeping it cool were plastic, paper, and polystyrene. The worst insulator were glass, and metal.
The best one for both warm and cold was polystyrene.

We learnt about the absorbency of different materials.
In Inquiry we had different materials to find information of what will happen. We filled a measuring container with water up to 100ml and 50ml of the material we were experimenting.
We had a tray so if any of the water that didn't absorbed into the materials so it doesn't make a mess. Also we had to measure the unabsorbed water.
We had to compare the absorbency of the materials that are stone, cotton, sand and paper towels. With my group we chose sand.

We learnt how to do the positions in touch.
For our first event we learnt catching and throwing on our own then we had a partner to learn catching and passing. To proper catching we had our hand shaped as a double-you.
Our next event we learnt how to move with the ball but without dropping it. We did different was to throw the ball in the air then catch it.
Next we practiced all of the events we were taught with a game. In the game we had different colored hula hoops to place our rugby balls
