Basketball Tournament

In the last couple of days our sports coordinator took our basketball girls to compete at the Eastern Zone Tournament. As we arrived at Selwyn College we saw these girls that were already ready to play against us. Sitting on Selwyn's seats made me feel nervous.

It was 9:15 and it was time for us to play against Michael Park Intermediate we did a layout just before we played. As I got on to the court I was getting butterflies and while I was running towards the ball my heart was pumping because it was my first time playing basketball.

As the hooter hooted we quickly got of and had a quick talk and a little drink. On three we had to say  hussel because that was our word for the day. As I got on to the court I looked behind my back and I saw the score our school was leading 13-3.

Trying my hardest to strip the ball of the number 17 it made me tired and nervous so then I held it tight and stripped it of her. As I shot the ball into the hoop I was getting the butterflies because I thought I was going to miss.

It was full time and I looked at the points it was 45-9 to us and we were so overwhelmed and we were getting mental. As we were walking upstairs our tutor said we done very well and keep going forwards not backwards.

Cross Country

Yesterday was the most overwhelming day that our whole entire school had to run because it was Pt England School's fun run which is cross country. As I walked out our school breeze I saw the crowd going wild. When Mr Burt said the year 8's have to run last I felt so nervous.

When it was time for the year 8 girls I stood up and walked to my friend Alexandria at the starting line. Before Mr Burt pressed the hooter button he pointed to where we had to run. As he pressed the button I jogged slowly with my two friends Alexandria and Monike and when we got to the enormous trees and we started to laugh because we were embarrassed.

As I got to the reserve I stopped because I was tired and I had to take of my school pants and wear my tights. When I finished taking my school pants of I had to jog to Mr Barks so I could get ahead of some girls. When I finally finish my first lap I went for another lap and when I got to the top field I heard the crowd cheer for me so I could keep up.

I was still trying my hardest to keep up with the other students but my carves were to sore so then I had to keep stopping. When I got up to the finish line I was happy that our school fun run (cross country) was over.

Light Trail

In the past few weeks ago me my and cousin and my brother went for a walk to the light trail in Maybury reserve just across the road from my house. When we got out of the drive way I saw a lot of people dressed up as swag. As we got to the reserve lots and lots of cars were parking near the round a bout. 

When we went for a walk we almost got lost but fortunately the beautiful lights were on so then we went to the bridge. Seeing random people selling food made me hungry and it looked so delicious. While I was walking I saw some of my friends hanging out with there family and friends.

At 9:00 o'clock the fireworks time began and I was watching it go up and as my brother was standing next to me I looked at his face it looked incredible. As soon as it started an old man said something but we ignored him. When the fireworks was nearly over my cousin came with food but I haven't seen it before.

                   So when the fireworks finished we walk hope quietly and safety
