The rules of netball are that you can not step with the ball because you have to give the ball to the other team and you can not bang into other people or else you have to stand beside. You have to have more than 7 players on your team because you swap with your team mates. these are the positions you can play wing defence, wing attack, goal shoot, goal keep, centre, goal attack and goal defence. If there are any other names that you call this game please feel free to tell me also this is what the court looks like

“It was an improved day for New Zealand tranchise teams in the transtasman netball pre-season tournament in Sydney on Saturday. The Southern Steel beat the Queensland Firebirds 29-27; the Magic beat the New South Wales Swifts 27-22, while the Canterbury Tactix defeated the Melbourne Vixens 28-25. But the Magic and Tactix were both beaten by the West Coast fever 27-19, while Queensland also beat the Pulse and Mystic.” Who is your favourite team? Mine is the silver ferns. Not only because it is New Zealand’s team but because I have always wanted to be a silver fern.

Last week we had to do poetic writing about doors. Mine was about a door with a light shining underneath it. This is what it said: I catch a glimpse of a mystery doorway with a bright light in the distance. I start walking and then I here a noise “thud thud thud”. I start sprinting; eventually I’m at the door.I get the key out of my pocket, it’s as rough as rock.Very quietly I put the key in the hole. I turn it right but it won’t work.Then very gradually I turn it left.Suddenly the light fades away and it seems the entire planet has gone to sleep.Slowly I reach my shuddering hand to the knob.Feeling the handle I get a humungous shiver up and down my backbone.It feels scorching hot like the boiling bright yellow sun shining down on me.
