Sweat, Joy, Blood and Team Work

Schools all ready, referees steady, the whistles blow like a confetti. We versed heaps of schools. We won all our games but unfortunately we lost in the finals against Sylvia Park School. Even though we didn’t come first we were all overjoyed. We came second. Yay!   At the end of the day we did our school proud.

Taking Our Team Pictures

        On Friday we went to the Pakuranga Rugby League clubrooms to take our team pictures. We went too early so we played around for an hour and a half. We played tag other kids for ages. When we got bored we went into the clubrooms and had a rest. 5 minutes later it was our turn to have our picture taken.Most of the girls in my netball team were putting lipstick on. The man who took the pictures seated us. When he was ready he told us to SMILE. He took about 6 pictures. When the flash went off my eyes kept closing. I don’t like getting my picture taken! :]

Going to Netball

     Last night at 5:20 we left Cypress’s house to go to netball.By the time we got to the AMI courts it was really dark. Half an hour later our game started so we got into our positions. When  the first quarter ended our coach Andrea was yelling at Faith because she was laughing on court. When the second half began Zeppalin fell over. At half time our coach thought she would gives us some lollies to make us hypo.By the time the game ended we had won 19-11.The player of the day was Zariah. When the game finished my legs were very sore.

Making It To The Finals

 

            On Wednesday it was amazing to see all the school teams competing against each other at the inter school netball champs.I really enjoyed playing at the AMI netball courts.It was cool to see different skills from every player in our area.Our school did very well and we made it into the semi-finals and the final to play-off for third and fourth.While we were there we supported the year 5 and 6 netball team as well.The year 5 and 6 netball team did really really great.

    We were thinking negatively at first and thought we were going to lose every game.  Our first game was against St Pius. Then Glen Brae and Pt England.We won the first two games  and lost our third game in our pool matches. We won our semi final against Tamaki Primary then lost to Glen Innes to come fourth overall out of 16 teams in the year 7 and 8 grade. We did really well.
