The NRL visit.

 

On Tuseday 26th March, the NRL people came to our school here in Carlingford. First thing after recess our class lined up.

Next we walked down to the  oval where  there were two people from NRL. Then they introduced themselves. Their  names were Rocky who was from the Dragons and Brie from the West Tigers.

 After that they chose four captains. A little while later they they taght us how to score. Then they told us how to kick. Lots of people were very good at kicking.

Next they told us how to get past a defender. Every body had a go at being a defender and everyone was great.

After that it was time for the teachers to choose two people from each class who tried their best.I was lucky and won a prize, so did Lachlan W.

It was great fun learning these skills from the NRL.

Our guest speaker-Mrs Koraca, Tobi's grandmother.

Today Mrs Koraca came to 2J to talk to us about growing up in her time. She told us lots of interesting things about her life when she was little such as the games she played and school lfe. It was interesting to hear all about her life as she grew up in Australia. Her life was very different to the lives of the students in 2J.
