The Land Of Stories Series

By Chris Colfer

When the twins grandmother gives them a treasured fairy-tale book, they have no idea that they’re about to enter a land beyond all imagining: The Land Of Stories, were fairy-tales are real. The twins know that they must get back home somehow. But with the legendary Evil Queen hot on their trail, will they ever find the way?

I recommend this book to anyone that can read under the age of 16.

The Emerald Atlas Series

By John Stephens

3 Children were taken from the house in the dead of night. Kate, Emma and Michael have been raised in several different orphanages. Memories that they once had of their parents are now gone, faded by years. But in the most recent orphanage, the children think that something strange is going on. When they find a book of a lot of importance they release the power to travel between times. Will the children be able to save the world from being destroyed?

I recommend this series of mystery books to people who like to read a book that has a lot of magic and prophecies. This series is one of my favourites.

4. The quarter with the least points wins.
5. Throw the balls into the other teams square.

Game Adaptations

Use your creative thinking to explore possible adaptations to this game to enhance both the fun factor and the ability to win the game. I have given you one example for each category but challenge yourself with other ideas and thinking.

Attack	Defence	Game Plan/Strategy
Use balls other than netballs that aren’t as heavy so the speed of the travelling ball also speeds up the game. Have more balls so that the  game is faster.	4 players from each quad are allowed to sit on the bleaches to stretch with their arms and intercept flying balls. Always be ready	People on the perimeter of the quad pass the ball to someone closer to the bleaches to allow them to throw it further into the opponent's area. Throw it far so that they have to bum shuffle to get it. That way you have more time to get more in.
