Ripper Rugby Session

Today, Matt came from Varsity to teach us Ripper rugby. Room 7 went to the field because Matt was teaching us Ripper rugby first. He came with belts and tags so we can use them to for Ripper rugby. First of all, we went to warm up by playing ripper rush, It’s like bull rush but you use ripper tags.

After we finished our warm up we did some passing so we can learn how to put our hands up and catch. When we finished passing we went to play a game. There was a yellow team and a white team.

We learnt how to pass the ball properly, putting your hands up to catch, timing when you pass the ball, running on time, focusing on the ball, staying in the right line and staying behind the passer.

Recount on Ripper Rugby

On Tuesday, March 15, 2016, A person from Varsity came to our school to play Ripper Rugby. The Ripper Rugby coaches name is Matt. He plays rugby for his own team too.


Ripper Rugby is a cool game, you have a belt that you can wrap around your waist. Once you have the belt on you have 2 tags that stick on to your belt.  There are two teams and the way to win is to get more points than the other team. You can only stay in the cones or you will go out and you will hand over the ball to the other team. You have only 40 minutes to play and you have a break at half time.


We learnt how to catch the ball by putting up our hands and calling them out so they can pass the ball to you.

I felt that we should train some more because we always dropped the ball when we were going to catch it. Heaps of people need to learn how to catch too.

Butter Chicken / Description

Butter Chicken is orange and it has a delightful taste. It smells like butter and some chicken that's why it. It is a exquisite look and has a beautiful look too. I can make people to eat it because is Beautiful and has a wonderful taste and a sense of smell. It can smell better if you add a little bit of mint on the top of the butter Chicken. It is good and bad to eat butter chicken because it fills up your stomach with delightful chicken and butter. When you eat Butter Chicken when it is still hot, it can burn your tongue and it will be sore so that’s why I eat it warm. When you eat butter chicken it can come with Garlic Bread, butter chicken sauce, rice and different kinds of spice.
