BORROWA TOUCH AND NETBALL CARNIVALLast Friday Years 3 and 4 went to Boorowa to play touch and netball. We had to leave for the bus at 7.00 am. The Year 4 touch team played four games. We won the first one and lost the others. Some high school students coached us. Year 4 netball played five games. Max scored the only goal all day. Year 3 played 4 games. It was very hot. Year 3 touch played six games. We won one, lost three and tied two. We were coached by two awesome high school kids. Some teams were really hard. Most of us fell asleep on the way home on the bus.
