Palin

This term we have combined our English and PE classes to learn about different sports. This week have learned about the game Palin, (similar to hockey) which originated hundreds of years ago in Chile. When the game is played, natural resources are used for the equipment, such as different types of woods for the playing sticks. Before we played we walked down to the beach and found our own sticks for the game. I enjoyed learning about the game as well as its history and it was really interesting to play as well.  Some challenges we experienced was the lack of rules because of the fact that in the past the game was banned, so they weren't written down. We overcame this by creating some basic ones of our own and adapting the game to suit our class.
