Portuguese coeducational game played by class 7B!

Portuguese coeducational game created by class 7B - Rules

NAME: WORMING GAME

Playground: Field dimensions: 20m / 30 m or similar
Equipment: Elastic bands and a chronometer / Boys and girls (a class of 20)

Development and Rules: 

• The game is played by two teams. One is called WORMS and the other is called CLEANSERS;
• In each team there are 2 groups. In each group there are 3 elements;
• The elements of each group form a line. The WORMS put their hands on the partners’ shoulders. The CLEANSERS stay hand in hand; all participants must wear an elastic band around their ankles; they will need to coordinate their movements with their partners;
• At the beginning of the games the 2 teams of three elements each (6 elements in each team), stand on opposite sides of the field outside the playing area;
• A whistle will sound and that’s when all the teams get into the playing area. The WORMS must try to catch the APPLES which are scattered through the field. The CLEANSERS try to catch the WORMS, but they must catch them one by one and only the first in each worm.
 • If the WORM breaks up, then the first half elements will continue to be a worm. The ones at the back half will become APPLES and must scatter again through the field, waiting to be caught;  

Aims:

• WORMS: go around the field, catching APPLES, in order to become bigger and bigger by adding new elements.
• CLEANSERS: “Eliminate” the first elements of any of the WORM teams, which become part of the cleansers as they are touched. 
The team who has the largest number of elements at the end of the 5 minutes playing time will win the game.

More photos of our sailing experience...

A big thank you to all the students who worked with us to make it a successful event!

In June there was time to go sailing with our Spanish partners!

In June the weather is warm and for that reason it was the perfect occasion to invite our Spanish partners to come to Tavira and try sailing and, of course, go to Tavira Island! Both teachers and students had a great time not only at school but also on Tavira island and in Quatro Águas. Teacher Elizabeth worked hard all day to pass on her passion for sailing!!
