Softball Inter schools

Yesterday the year 5-8's softball teams went down to Dunkirk Park to participate in our softball games. There were 2 teams that represented Panmure Bridge School, which was the year 7 and 8 team and the year 5 and 6 team. We played 5 games each. We won 2 games and lost 3 games. Our opponents were Glenbrae School, Point England, Ruapotaka School, O Puau Te Moananui A Kiwa, and Tamaki Primary. We tried our best, but unfortunately we lost to O Puau Te Moananui A Kiwa, Point England, and Tamaki Primary. We managed to win against Ruapotaka School and Glenbrae. Throughout every game we showed teamwork, communication, and sportsmanship to each other. All of us were excited to try our new PE uniforms on.

Today for Softball was our first session. Our instructors name was called Alison. Today for Softball I learnt how to throw a ball using the L shape and the monkadileabb. My partner was Miki. First we started of with throwing and catching the ball. The person who was throwing had to have their writing hand at the back, Their left leg back with their right leg in the front. The person that was going to catch had their hands ready like a butterfly.Once we finished practising we went further back. The last partners to be standing wins. We the same thing but with the monkadileabb. It means acting like a monkey and when the ball come you have to walk side to side like a crab.Once you catch it you act like a crocodile trying to bite something.
