Research task on action figures by Hola

This is a research task on action figures created by Hola from Room 8 of Glenbrae school.

Hola's neighbourhood

I like my neighbourhood because of the internet café where you can play games from Playstation 2. I like the Panmure Basin as well.

I just love going to the Aquatic Centre because you can swim in the deep pool and because there is a spa pool for the adults and there are lanes for you to swim in. There are fast lanes, slow lanes and medium lanes.

From my discussion above you can see the reasons why I like my neighbourhood.

Recount of Hola's soccer coaching session

Last Thursday Room 8 went for a soccer lesson. Manuel was the coach.

The first game we played was called “tails.” We had to pull the ‘tails’ off other students. Litani won. Then we played “Kick the ball out”. Here we had to kick the balls of other students out. No one won.

Everyone was exhausted. We enjoyed the soccer training.
