Year 4 - Paralympics

18 November 2021 (by Cheryl Wallace (Cheryl Wallace))

We have been taking part in different Paralympic events this afternoon.  

Boccia - this is a ball sport that would be played in a wheelchair and is closely related to bowls.

Curling as if we were deaf - it is a sport in which players slide stones across the surface - we were not allowed to speak during this event and had to use other ways to communicate.

Goalball - this is a team sport designed for athletes with a vision impairment.  You need to be quiet when playing this game to allow you to hear the bell inside the ball.

Volleyball - we were not allowed to stand up during this game and had to work hard as a team.
