Warriors Visit

Today we got a visit from some of the Warriors players. We were all excited and pumped to see them here today. We did our role call and zoomed off to the hall. I walked into the hall and my heat was racing fast as soon as I saw them. The players that were there were Ryan Hoffman (Captain for the team) John Palavi (plays prop 2nd row) We started off by playing some games and first up was Trivia. Trivia was a game that you answer to, and if you got it right then you would win a spot prize. Unfortunately I didn't get a prize but got lucky enough to take a photo with them. I would like to thank Georgina and Alice (from DTR) for organizing this assembly for us.

Yesterday morning, both netball teams year 5 and 6s, and year 7 and 8s. The first team that we were versing against was Point England 1, unfortunate we lost by 0-19. The second match was against Glen Taylor 2, but unlucky we lost by 2-7. Both teams got to have a little bit of a break and we were all practicing for our next match. As the day went by we were surprised because we were going to verse our own other year 7 and 8 team. We played hard and won 5-2. We ended with a great game too.
