This week in English and P.E we learnt how to play a new game called Palin. Palin is a game originated from Argentina and Chile and it is a bit like hockey as the players use a ball and sticks to score goals. Traditionally they make their own sticks but we went down to the beach and found some hooked shaped sticks to use. On Wednesday morning, we tried the game out on the outdoor courts. We had to make up a few rules because we weren't very sure on the exact rules as there hasn't been any written down on the internet. A few rules we changed/ made up were the length of the court and the type of stick and ball. Usually, the length of a Palin field is 200m long by 12m wide. We weren't sure of what the size we changed our court to was but we cut off about a quarter of the width of our court. I thought the game was going to be really boring but it was actually pretty fun apart from the cold whether.
