Fantastic Miniball

Rules of the Game
We have rules that we have to follow, such as ... you are not allowed to push people, you can't play more than one game on one day, you must wear the right uniform. We are not allowed to foul.





How to Play
There are two teams who verse each other to win. The hoops are ten feet tall. When you score a goal it gives you two points; when you foul, the other team gets one point. each team is only allowed five players on the court at a time.

Uniform
You have to wear a Bradford top, and you must wear shorts not jeans, and good shoes to run in.


Games and Practices
We have practice on the tennis court at lunchtime on Thursday. We have two teams, the Bradford Bulldogs and the Dragons. The game times can be from 3,30 to 7.00pm. We play at the Edgar Centre.


Things we Enjoy
We enjoy winning (last week we won 25 to 15), and we also like the exercise and the team spirit.

Book Fair

Our book fair was opened by a lady called Phillipa who came from the Dunedin Public Library. She talked about the library and how you can use the computers and she told us about how to get a library card.




Each day at 11am, one of the teachers read a book to us kids. It was really cool.

At the book fair there were some awesome books like Captain Cough a Lot and Ants Pants. Mrs Mitchell Bains was reading Cinderella in Room 2. On Tuesday night we had fish and chips in Room 6.












Some of the kids grandparents came to school on Thursday to read books to their grandchildren. It was a sunny day and some read outside.






On Friday we had a book character day where everyone came dressed up as their favourite book character. There were some awesome costumes.

The book fair started at the 4th of August and finished on the 8th of August when the Beijing Olympics started.



Jacob and Hayden

We have a variety of sports at Bradford School and some of us play netball on a Tuesday at the Edgar Centre. We have two teams - the Magic and the Mystics.

Some of the games we win, and some we lose but we always have heaps of fun.


Sometimes the games are quite rough and Jacob usually manages to fall over at some stage.

Most of the time Brin and Jacob are the shoots and Natasha and Deanna are the defense.






We have a lot of good players in our team who work together to help us win.

Our centre Tayla, is in the Otago Year 6 team.




At the end of each game we always shake the other teams hand and give them three cheers.
