Hey guys!
If you didn't know, yesterday my school had its annual Sports Day. I was in Red house, which by the way has gotten 2nd place two years in a row, losing out on both occasions to our arch enemy, Blue house. This year, we were determined to win.
I took part in the Kickball and Sockball competition. OK, you probably have no idea what's Kickball and Sockball. Kickball is basically a cross between football and baseball. The 'pitcher' throws a ball and the 'batter' kicks the ball and then runs bases. The objective is to get the most home runs.
Sockball is basically Netball, but the ball is actually a tennis ball wrapped in a sock. You can't move when you have the ball, and if you drop it, the other team takes possession. To score , you must hit a bucket with the ball. To win is to score the most.
Both sports are team sports. Anyway, Red house managed to win both of those sports, and I later found out our Dodgeball team won as well. But we lost in Swimming, Benchball, Netball Shooting and Volleyball.
Finally the moment came. Who would be crowned the champion? Yellow house finished 4th while Green house finished 3rd. And then, 2nd place went to... Red house!
We were once again beaten by Blue house. But at least all of us put in a lot of effort and didn't give up, so I'm happy because of that.
Now, for some more official sports.
Arsenal travel to QPR today, hoping to add to their 7 game winning streak. Hopefully they will win. Manchester United will try to avenge that shock 3-2 defeat to Blackburn at Old Trafford last December when they visit Ewood Park. Other matches are Newcastle vs Liverpool, Aston Villa vs Chelsea, Manchester City vs Sunderland and Tottenham vs Swansea.
Did you know that in my school Blue House is always last and that I'm their house captain this year?
