Dodgeball Writing

“Good morning Class 4!” Ms Tito was our teacher for the morning block and she looked like she had some news, “Has your teacher put you into the dodgeball tournament?” We looked at each other, puzzled, “No, is there a dodgeball tournament?” Ms Tito leaned on the table, looking like she was ready to do something exciting, “Class 3 is putting on a dodgeball tournament for all the Team 5 classes and we would love for you to join, all you need to do is ask your teacher to email me, saying that you would like to compete.” We all knew that Ms Squires would say yes, so we started to get really excited about not only playing, but playing against the other classes since we haven’t really done anything with them the whole year.

Ms Squires had said yes and we were about to have our first practise with Ms Tito, even though everyone knew how to play, we weren’t very good competition wise. But after a few good practises, we were ready to play. Our first game was going to be against Class 5 on Friday , they were supposed to be easy because they hadn’t had very many practises but as we approached the hall, we saw that they had some good sports people in their class.

Luckily, we won that game, it was challenging but really fun and we couldn’t wait for the next one. The next Tuesday, we had another practise and we went over what we did that was wrong and what could improve on so we had a great practise with lots of learning and new skills. Our second games was against Class 3 who were the ones who were running the tournament so they had to be better than us. Sadly we didn’t win that game, but it was really fun and we had enough time to play an extra 2 games just for fun.

The first round will end once we play Class 2 and then it will be winners against winners and losers against losers to get down to the cup and the grand final. I really enjoy playing dodgeball every Friday, it tops off my week at school in a great way. Hopefully we will at least get into final and maybe win!
