Netball Awards

Friday morning was like an awsome day because my FAVOURITE coach, who is Miss Tito, gave the yr 5 netball team a trophy. When I went to go and get my golden trophy and a certificate, I was really nervous to go up onto the stage and smile. While I was waiting onto the stage, I was really proud of myself. When the netball season starts again next year, I will join in because netball is my favourite sport to play. The thing that I like playing mostly is netball. When I grow up to be a teenager I will keep playing netball, because I want to play for the rest of my life.

Sir Francis Drake

Sir Francis Drake, born in 1540 in England, was a bold and brilliant sailor. He was employed by Queen Elizabeth 1, as a privateer. On slave voyages to the West Indies, Drake attacked Spanish Galleons and stole their treasure.
Drake's adventures in the West Indies impressed the Queen, who asked him to lead England's first circumnavigation of the world. He left from England in his ship called The Golden Hinde Drake sailed through the strait of Magellan and into the Pacific Ocean and along the Western Shores of the Americas, and then into Asia. Three years later he returned to Britain.
