On the 29th of May 2014 the year 6's of Oaklands school went on a Rebuild tour

I really enjoyed the rebuild tour.

On the Friday the 6th of June I had my first game of winter sport

We played at Nunweek Park.My team lost 10-nil but we played really good.I was right forward in the first half and left forward in the second half. I didnt actually change postions I changed from left to right because at half time we changed direction.
