Squash Recount

"The ball went too fast I could not hit it fast enough." On Monday the 14th we had Squash in the  school hall. We had two men come to our school to teach us how to play Squash their names were Michael and Phil. Phil taught us skills and Michael was at the squash wall helping us play, I felt nervous when I was playing. In squash you play with a racket and a small fast ball, but when you are practicing you use a softer slower bigger ball.

The squash wall is the wall you have to hit with the ball, the group that I was in went to Phil first, the other group went to the court with Michael. When we were with Phil we learned how to do tricks which were very hard, we had to throw it up and catch without bouncing it and more.

I was very bad at playing Squash because I always lost, every time I got in I always got back out. There are two top players in the world,1 is a girl and 1 is a boy, thier names are, Ramy Ashour, and the girl is Nicole David.

Squash was invented 140 years ago the year that is was invented in was around 1830. In squash they wear shirts, skirts, pants and protective glasses. I have played squash at my school it is very tiring  because you have to run from here to there and hit the ball with the racket.

We only got to play for 3 days, the first day we got to know how to play, the second day we did a rotate, and on the third day we did the same thing, there was a champion from the class on days two and three, the champion on both days was Patrick, he never left the place where you battle people, he never moved to another court because he was always one of the top two players in the court, he was called the king of the court because he kept winning in the court.

When they left the next day I felt sad, tired and happy. Sad because they were leaving, tired because I was always running around and happy because I enjoyed learning how to play squash.

Duffy Recount

On Monday the 23rd there was a Duffy Theatre performance in the hall. Most of St Pius X School was there but Room 7 wasn’t there because they were at League with Kouma.

There were people came and did a play about Duffy, hes a school boy who always wears a hat. There were 2 boys and 1 girl. One of the boys and the girl were from Samoa and the other boy was a Kiwi. The two boy’s went and got dressed into their costumes and the girl stayed while we played a Samoa game.

The name of the play the duffy theatre did was called “Duffy Loses His Words.” It was about when Duffy was telling his little brother Scruffy what happened yesterday in his book because he wrote it down when he lost his words.

It all started when he was sleeping, a bad guy came, his name was Votra he was a bad guy he had a toilet plunger on his head. Votra made Duffy be the director of a game called “Intergalatic Word Competition”. Votra had a competition with Lovely and they had to name lots of types of food. The one that got the most was the winner, Votra got angry because he lost. In the next round there was a girl called Rude. This time they had to say as many street words as they could. The audience helped Votra but he lost.

After that Duffy lost his words and Afi got the words back from Votra.

At the end of the show Tokilupe thanked the Duffy people for coming to our school. I liked the show, the best part for me was when Duffy got his words back, it made me feel happy and excited for him.

We all went back to class and then went outside for lunch.
