Curling Field Trip

Yesterday, we went to a curling field trip. Curling is a fun sport on ice, and our gym teacher wanted to let us play on real ice. These are instructions on curling there is: Lead, Second, Third, and Skip. When Lead throws, Second and Third sweep. When Second goes, Lead and Third sweep. When the third goes, Lead and second sweep. The skip doesn’t sweep. He calls when to sweep and when not to. You do rock, paper, scissors to see who gets to chose between the stone color, or the hammer. The hammer is the last shot. The hammer means you get to knock out other stones. Next, you play and whoever has the most points at the end, wins!  So, we went to the Ardsley  Curling Club and we got started. We got put into groups and we were assigned an instructor. Our instructor was nice, and we practiced throwing, sweeping, skipping, and much more. Then we were ready to start playing a match. We got into positions and my teammate went. He didn’t score. After a bunch of more turns, we ended up winning the match! I loved curling and I look forward to trying it again. You should try curling too! Curling is a sport of all ages, so anyone can play it. I hope you enjoyed this blog post!
