This week we had our softball competitions at Mt Wellington War Memorial Reserve. We played against many schools. I was in the year 5-6 team. We had different teams depending on their year. We comppeted against 4 teams. Our first game was against Pt england. We sadly lost to them. After that we vsed Panama Rd school, won against them. Then we competed agianst Tamaki primary and won to them. Then we challenged The pt england yr 6 team and we won. Then we made it to the finals and had to play to a team in the other pool that is second place. We competed against Glenbrae. We sadly lost to them. I really enjoyed winning to some teams. The areas on a softball match is:

Fielding ( Where you stand at the bases and fill the empty space of the field. 

Batting ( The batting is when you try to bat as far as you can to so the fielding people have to try get the ball and through it at someone of which base you are going, if you are past all 3 bases you have to try make it home.)

Pitching ( Is when you through the ball to the person who is batting so they can make it to the bases.)

LI: To learn new skills. Today we had kiwi sport with Allison. First we had to partner up with someone and line up. So you have to be standing next to your partner not infront  of them or behind. The people on the left side of the line had to be fielders and the right side was batting. when you are a fielder and you get the ball then put it on the cone you have to sit so every fielder can have a turn so as the batters. After that we swapped and did the same. We had to remember that our little knuckles aligned and hands together. Feet shoulder width apart, elbows up. Whenever you bat you don't let go of the bat with one hand. After that we played A game called 4 corners. So Allison was in the middle. She will have her eyes closed. We had to go find a base and stand there still while she is closing her eyes counting to 5. she would hear not see what base is the loudest so we had to be very quiet. I she say's first base the people on first base are out.

LI: To learn how to catch. Today for kiwi sport we had Ash again. We played scatter ball but Ash threw the balls to us and we had to bat it. If we kept missing the ball Ash will let us bat from the stick. We split up into fielders and batters. I was a batter. I remembered the skill that you need to do while batting. So your feet has to be shoulder width apart, and your small knuckles has to be aligned, the bat on your shoulder, and also elbows up. Then when everyone had a turn batting we swap. When we bat and we run around the bases if you don't make it you stay at the base you are on then you wait for the other person to come so you can run and if you still don't make it your out. After that we had to get into a circle and hands on our knees. Then ash will throw the ball at any pof us but first she could fake her throw so someone can make their hands of their knees becasue if you take you hands of you knees but the ball didn't come to you your out. If you catch the ball but it falls out of your hands your out. After that we all lined up to go back to class.

LI: To practise softball skills. Today for Kiwi Sport we had had Ash. We played scatter ball to learn how to throw,catch, and also bat. We spit up into two even groups and one group was the batting team and the other was the fielding team. The batter have to be shoulder width apart with their feet and elbows up, small knuckles aligned on the bat and to put the bat on your shoulder that has you hand you write with.So for scatter ball we had to have a batting team and a fielding. First round of scatter ball the batters have to bat two balls and if the fielders get the ball and put it on the cones and the batters are still running around the bases then they have to stop at one of the bases and wait til the next batter runs so they can run. The second round the batter only had to hit one ball and the same to wait at the base for the other person comes and runs so you can run.

We had to make an L with our arm and then K and flick.
