Date: 11/9/13
Setting: Outside Time: 2.00pm

These days, boys were found of footy. They lined up and waited to get a change to get the footy. They played the footy nicely and did follow the rule of football.

Edward and Lenny went fast to get the footy while the other children were going there as well. They discussed about whose turn is next and player and footy things.

Edward got a turn to kick the footy and he kicked very well. Lenny looked at the footy being kicked away.

Lenny looked around to make himself know what is happening around him so he could find a best way to get the footy.
