Kelly sports Cricket by Kingston

 This week we had our first session of Cricket. Our coaches name was Bart. This session we learnt about catching and throwing. Before we learnt about catching and throwing we did a warm up game of batters vs fielders. The batters had to knock the ball off the cones and the fielder had to pick them up and put them back on the cones. 

Next we partnered up and threw a tennis ball to someone so they can practice catching. The catcher had to make his fingers point to the ground or to the sky depending on how high the ball was thrown and you must catch with two hands. The thrower had to do under arm throws to the catchers. Then we did a team challenge to knock over the cones, the class was split into two and the first team to knock over all cones wins. After the skills practice we played a game of non stop Cricket were you have a team of fielders and batters, coach Bart was bowling for both teams. I enjoyed this session of Cricket. Two things I need to work on is hitting the cricket ball and precise throwing.

Manu and Zahn's report on the inter-school cricket

On Wednesday the year 7 and 8 team went to Colin Maiden park to compete in the inter-school cricket tournament . Our first game was against Point England they played a fair game but unfortunately we lost. Our second game was against Stonefields. We were really lucky and we won the game by 3 points. Our third game was against Glenbrae. We all had fun but unfortunately we lost this one too. Our fourth game was against St Pius. We got a lot of points and eventually we jumped for joy because we won. Our fifth and final game was against Sylvia Park. We were lucky to beat them because it was a close game! At the end of the day we all received prizes and had fun. We would like to say a special Thank you to Miss Paton and Mrs Emma for looking after us for the day and we would also like to thank Mr Johnston, Mrs Speight and Ms Kirkpatrick for helping us with the transport.
