Room 6 learns new sport

On Wednesday February 14th room 6 left school at 11:00am to go and learn a new sport called lawn bowling.
We walked up to the Ponsonby bowling club which is on Jervois road.
Once we arrived we all sat down facing two men, one named Evan Ford who is the president of the bowling club and the other man was the coach.
Once they had finished teaching us, we all got into groups of four.
At first we started off with a small white ball called the jack. Everyone looked like they were having fun except for some students who were tired from the sun.
After about half an hour the coach and Evan brought out about 7-8 boxes filled with 4 big black balls weighing about 3kgs. Now this time we had to use the big black balls to try and hit the jack. I know that a lot of students were having trouble hitting the jack but a few people were having their lucky day hitting the jack. By the end of the day I’m sure that all of us had a great time learning a new sport.
