What a great time the Year 3 and 4 girls had going to soccer last week. Mrs S and a couple of wonderful mum's piled girls into their cars and headed to English Park on Cranford Street. Everyone was very excited but also a little unsure about what to expect.
When we arrived we had to wait a little bit so we had some kia and water. Then the lovely people from Mainland Football called us all together to talk about what was to happen. We then lined up into groups of 4 and we were out on the field for some games. We played a game or a skill game. It was hot out on the turf and we had to use lots of energy to run around after the ball. Some of the teams we played were a bit older and had played before, but it didn't matter, we gave it our best.
Soon it was break time and a chance to eat some more lunch and have some much needed water. We listened to the Mainland people talk about their experiences playing soccer and got to ask some questions. One of them had been to the Olympics twice! We were very impressed.
Finally we got to play one final game, have our photo taken and get some posters signed. Amelia got given a t-shirt for trying really hard at something she hadn't done before. What an Open-Minded Explorer she is! Gosh it was fun! (Plus on the way home Mrs S brought us all ice blocks!)
We hope you like the photos.
