Soccer game

Soccer Game 

Today my friend and I were having a game of soccer.The people who were playing the soccer game were Gerry, Trey ,Josh , Will ,Chase, Adrian and me.Gerry was goal keeper and I was striker.I got a lot of goals and Gerry saved a lot of goals.I scored 3  goals and that would be a hat trick .Trey missed a shot but it was very close and funny then everyone laughed at Trey.Josh was the main part of the team.The score was 3-2 to us.We were so happy that we won so we all did a victory dance at the game and then we rubbed it in  the other  teams faces.The other team captain was angry at their goalkeeper because he let in all the goals.At the end of the game we all took a big drink and we shook hands and said good game and then the teams went to the cricket pitch to sit down and relax.After we relaxed we heard the bell to go to our classes and have maths.By CM and G.G

Recipe

I made a shepherds' pie  I had a lot of fun making it. I got the vegetables and I cut them up. I got the potatoes and peeled them. I chopped them up and put them in a pot to cook. I browned the mice in the fry pan and put that in an oven proof dish. I put the vegetables over the top of the mince and i mixed them in with the mince. When the potatoes were cooked I mashed them and then spread them over the mince and vegetables. I then got some grated cheese and put that over mashed potato. I put in the oven until the cheese was melted. We ate a beautiful dinner. PJT

We ran to the skipping rope and skipped five times.After we skipped five times we jumped in the hoops, grabbed the bean bag and threw it in the last hoop.We ran back and did hi-fives with the person on the hand.The other person goes next.I was really nervous when it was my turn.I always kept saying in my mind''This is really hard.''Mrs Giovanni was the teacher who was cheering us.After the Teams had finished their relays we went back to the classroom.It was super fun!I really enjoyed it!  J.L
