The Holiday Netball Program

In class we wrote a recount from the holidays and we were learning about the proper structure of a recount. Something I could do better next time is to use more punctuation.

The Holiday Netball Program

On the 27th of April in the school holidays there was a Rugby and Netball program ran by Margaret Foster and I was lucky enough to go. This program was for three days and this was this third day.

I arrived at the program at 8:45 am all pumped and ready to go. So we started the day off with this guy called Ged Robinson, coming in and talking to all of us about how we should all have a positive mind set,  and not a fixed mind set. ( A positive mind set is when you have goals and are determined to reach them, and a fixed mind set is when you have goals and you think they are too hard so you just give up. )

After we had learnt something new from Ged Robinson, just us Netball girls had this lady called Angela Stone come in. She talked to us about how she became famous in the fashion world. When Angela Stone had finished talking to us she even showed us how to walk confidently and that was amazing!

Meanwhile us girls were having a fantastic time and learning new things the boys were playing Rugby and learning new rugby skills, So when the boys came in, we all got into our own groups of seven because we were having a mini Netball tournament. I was incredibly shocked when I heard how the boys were going to join in and have their own team for the tournament. After we got into our tournament teams we got to make up our team name. First we came up with Tactics but there is a team already called that, so we just switched it around so now it's Tictacs. “ So let the games begin” said Marg smiling. There were only to courts to play on and there were six teams, The Tictacs (us) were one of the first team's on court so we didn't have time to warm up. The whistle blew and suddenly both games started. Our team was doing really well and sticking to our partners like glue but the other team managed to win. The score was 4-0. The whole tournament finished and the scores were recorded and it said the Tictacs lost every game and drew one.

After all that hard work we decided to have lunch yum yum, Lunch is usually half and hour to refill and get energy so we can have even more fun. So after when we had lunch, the rugby boys went back to rugby and the Netball girls did some defending skills, with Shelly and this other professional defender. By the time we had done that it was time to go home.

Overall I felt I really want to to this program all over again because I got to meet and work with new people and I gained new skills.
