My First PE Class: Playing Rugby

A

I’m Nelly, and I’m in my first PE class at my new school. I’m standing with all of my classmates in the middle of the big sports field next to the school. We’re watching another class play a game called rugby. It’s my first time playing rugby!

B

Someone kicks the ball then someone on the other team catches it. You have to run to the other end of the pitch. You can throw or pass the ball to other people in your team, but you have to throw the ball behind you, not in front of you.

C

You usually play rugby in the winter. A pupil has the ball now and is running up the field. The players on the other team are trying to catch her. They stop her by holding her legs so she falls over onto the grass. It doesn’t look like a lot of fun to me!

D

It’s really cold today and it’s raining. Why isn’t it the summer?! I want to be in a nice warm classroom! It’s our turn to play now. We’re walking onto the pitch. Someone is kicking the ball. Oh no! It’s coming towards me! Help!
