Last week the senior school got to test out all the golf skills they had been learning by playing on a real golf course. Here are some pics and two recounts about the day. Thanks Libby and Neve for your stories.
Plop,
in the hole! Soon the bell rang. It was 9am. Soon enough everyone came charging
down to the mat! The roll was being read out. In my head I thought, “here comes
my name.” “Good Morning Ms
Archbold,” I said quietly. Soon she started to talk about golf but I had
completely forgotten about it.! We all listened with care and you could tell we
were all excited! Soon we (the year 5 and 6’s) went outside and lined up next
to Room 24, but the Year 4’s and Room 27 didn’t come.
We
walked over to the parking place and we waited for 25 minutes because the bus
was late! We waited and waited and waited. I got so bored! “Look,” I said. “The
bus is here.” The bus pulled up and took Room 25 and Room 26. “Nooooo!” I said,
looking disappointed. So we kept waiting. After a while the bus came up. “In we
go,: I said to myself.
Soon
we all rushed onto the bus. I sat in the 3rd seat from the back of
the bus. In front of me was my two best friends, Jake and Thomas. We started to
talk about Minecraft (the computer game)!
Thomas soon changed the subject to War Hammer! Jake talked about Orks
and I talked about Space Wolves. Soon I changed the subjest to tigers. WE
talked for such a long, long time that we didn’t realise that we were there!
We
walked in pairs over the bridge and into Hagley Park golf. We got into groups
so we could get into the real stuff. On hole number 7 I got the longest hit.
Soon we got it into the hole. Next we were on number 8 and Finley got the
longest hit and I got it into the hole.
Then we were on number 9. Michael’s ball got us half way so we were the
first group finished. We had a little practice where the grass was really short
and it had the holes in it.
We
had a lot of fun at golf. I liked it when I got the longest hit and we got to
use my golf ball!

I
woke up early in the morning, tramped out of bed and started to get into my
uniform. Once I had gotten dressed and pinned on my Eco-Warrior Badge I sped
down the hallway following the smell of breakfast. Mmmmm yummy. “Lib,” I heard
Dad say. “Yeah,” I replied back. “You going to walk to school by yourself
today!” I stopped and stared at him like he had gone crazy, then my mouth
dropped open. 1…2…3…. “Ok,” I shouted. When I got to school I went to put my
scooter away. I walked into class and remembered – it was Golf day.
So
next we were on the bus going to play golf. Screech! “We’re here” Ms Archbold
said. Clap clap, clap calp clap. Mrs Jones clapped to get everyone’s attention.
“Listen up everyone,” she called. “Today I have a golf helper who is going to
explain to you how to use this short grass.” “Good morning everyone,” said the
helper. “Good morning,” we replied back. “Ok everyone, can anyone tell me what
this grass circle thingy is?” A Year 6 boy put his hand up. “Yes, what is it?”
she said. “It’s called a green,” he squeaked quietly. “Good, “she said. “now
you’re going to go off in groups and you’re going to do some golf.” Half an
hour later we had done a few golf hits and were trying out different greens.
Bella and Emma were hitting golf balls up sandy hills.
The
net thing we knew we were going back on the bus. My Dad said, “Maybe you’ll
take up golfing!”. “Maybe,” I mutter. But I think for now I’m fine!
