Netball Written by Tamsin

BOUNCE BOUNCE! The balls bounced so loud you could hear them from the other side of the school!

Last Tuesday Room 6 and Miss Dobbin were going to netball. On the netball courts we met Shelly there. Miss Dobbin said " Line up at the end line Room 6! " We all lined up at the end line...

 After that we all said hi to Shelly and she said to grab a netball. I grabbed a bright pink one. We had to throw the ball up in the air and clap more times then ten. The balls were flying like birds! The claps were so loud they were like thunder!

Next Shelly called people up for a competition. River won! Yay River! CLAP CLAP CLAP! We all cheered for River like cheerleaders cheering for a rugby team! He broke the record! My favorite part was when River broke the record. I really liked netball I can't wait till we do it again!  

Netball! - Written by River

STOMP STOMP! It was the sound of thunder rumbling down the ramp last Tuesday...

Last Tuesday we had netball with Shelly . We darted down the ramp like thunder! We stopped on the end line and we stood like soldier's with our hand's on our heads! Then we stood closer to listen to Shelly. 

Next we had a ball. Not any kind of ball but netball's and they were different colour's! Pink and white. 

After that we got to do trick's. Some were easy and some were hard. The hard one was putting the ball under your leg and then over. "GOOD WORK" yelled Shelly. "This time try and throw the ball high in  the sky and clap as hard you could"shouted out Shelly.CLAP CLAP!  The sound was so loud from our hands.

Next we had a competition. "Who ever had the most claps will beat the high score!" whispered Shelly. I did it!!!! I had eleven! I was as happy as the sun.
