PES Olympics

Finally the day had come! Making my way out to the court I could see a line for my country... JAMAICA. As I sat down, I could hear everyone chanting out their country’s. Just like the real olympics we marched around the court and as soon as we finished the march, THE GAMES BEGUN!

Entering the hall, I looked around and suddenly knew that we were playing Sitting Volleyball. We split up into 2 groups and sat down. Not long after us another country arrived and they were France. Tyla was in this team. “Hit it!” I heard someone shout. Without warning the ball was heading straight for me, I didn’t manage to hit it. Soon I was the server. It hit it towards Tyla and she hit it back to someone in my team. It went back and forth a few time until someone won the point. Overall the score was 4-5 to France. I hoped our next event would be better.

There were many events like, Touch, 3 Legged Soccer, Basketball and more! Soon we got to play rounders which is like Cricket and Baseball. We had to kick a ball and then run to the base. Unfortunately I didn’t get around. Someone got me out when I was just about to get a home run! When the game finished we scored 10 points for sportsmanship. I don’t know if we won or not.

I had a really fun day and I can’t wait to have another sports day like this.

BasketBall

Last week we got to play Basketball with a pro. He taught us different techniques and skills that we would need if we did end up playing Basketball.

First we started outside with some drills. Soon we got into pairs a got a ball. We practised different ways to bounce the ball up and down the court. Once the first person finished the next person went. We also got to go in the hall for a game.

Entering the hall I could see that there were 2 basketball hoops set up. We got to play a game called Golden Child. We split up into 2 teams. One team were the shooters and the other team were the runners. Each team had an aim and for the shooters it was to try and get as many people out by getting as many basketballs in. But for the runners, their aim was to get as many people around the court before the shooter's score. If the shooter's score the person must stop running and the next person goes. When there is only one person left he runs but when he/she passes you, you can run too. We played this game and unfortunately we lost!

I had a lot of fun at basketball! It was pretty tiring though. As much as it tiring it’s also alot of fun and I can’t wait to go again!
