1st hockey game

On Saturday I went to hockey to play for the school.When I went there my team went up to play.The cool thing I liked was that when we held our hockey sticks. Our team lost by one point. It was as fun as the park.The player of the day was Ezra and Jacob. Next week we might win.

We like playing cricket  at Russell School.

It felt great to be picked to play in the inter school tournament.


We might not have won, but we had the best coach, his name was Luke.One day we might be good enough to play for the Firebirds, like he does.

Our two teams with Rangi

We want to say thank you to Mel and her team for coaching us and teaching us how to play ki o rahi. It is like rippa but different.

Next we want to learn the dunk shot because it looks cool.
 
We know without Rangi, we would not have been allowed to go, so thanks Rangi! 

We liked when our parents and family came to cheer for us, it made us proud.
 

Mini Ball

On Thursday Russell School's mini ball team went to play mini ball at the Te Rauparaha Arena.
First we did warm ups. Then we got into our groups to do some skills. Lylah's group is group one and Sharnita's group number is two.
Do you know how many games both groups won? TWO!

Re Anne likes how people score three pointers. Tony likes how some people set up so others can score. Brandon likes how others can shoot the ball from far away from the hoop and get it in and score.

We want to say a big 'THANK YOU!' to Wendy and all the adults who support our team.

By Lylah & Sharnita.
