Hockey Story

Yesterday in the freezing cold air my class put on their coats and met our coach Tania who was teaching us Hockey.  First, we had to line up behind a hockey stick.  My one was blue.  Second, we had to stand in our hockey positions.   Third, we had to dribble our imaginary ball across a soft and stony court.

Next we had to get into partners for passes, we did 5 close up, then went further and further apart.  Lastly, we got to hit the ball hard to see how far we can get it.  I got it to the flagpole, I was excited to see that I got it to the flagpole.  Then we had to line up, Tania said to skip around the old playground back to class.

HOCKEY with Tania

Today we enjoyed learning some new skills with the hockey sticks.  

To start with we practiced just holding the sticks correctly 

Next we had to control the ball

Everyone then had a go - great hit Anton!

PINK DAY

On Friday Hampstead School had pink day to support anti-bullying.  I was wearing my white and pink pants, my pink cardy, my grey top and boots.  I got my clothes for my birthday.  I was also wearing a pink jacket.  I think pink day is a really good thing to have to support all the people that get bullied.  It's sad to think that some people get bullied all the time.  Lexus and I had no-one to play with, so I asked her if she wanted to play with me.
