This week's Curling Residency! |
For the past two days, we have taken part in a Curling Residency with Coaches Tyler and Willie. We are learning the basics of Curling. Curling is a great sport that involves strategy, thinking and Science! We learned new vocabulary, like button, house, hammer, and take-out.
Coach Willie taught us two strategies: setting a guard, and making a take-out!
We also learned how to score:
