Ciao,
At New Brighton Catholic School we compete in a competition called Winter Sports. Today was the beginning of winter sports meaning once you become a year 5-8 you get the option to pick a sport, come to school in your PE gear, and play at all kind of areas. Such as the Canopy, Rawhiti School, Thompson Park, Rawhiti Domain, and both fields across from the Canopy. All on a Friday!
Every year there are a variety of sports and options such as Soccer, Touch, Netball, Multi-Sport, and Capture The Flag. But out of all of them me and my friends Kiara, Leisha,Lilia, and Despina chose Capture the flag.
We started our season with a friendly match against a team of year 4 and 5 students. Every time we scored or I had to pull a tag, I couldn’t help but feel a little guilty for playing so hard against a group of adorable kids. So instead I let them pass.
Then afterwards we had a quick break and carried on to play against Marshlands.Out of all the games I have played, Marshlands was my favorite they matched our energy, were as energetic as us, and even encouraged us to keep going after every mistake we made. And so did we.
For our last game we played South New Brighton, they were really quiet but had lots of skills. Unfortunately I forgot both scores for the last 2 games, but all I know is that we won. My highlight for today was having a great time with my friends and the non-stop laughter.
What’s your favorite part of Winter Sports?
