Our favourite sports

Just under our school there is the swimming pool. We go there to have swimming courses after the school, but sometimes we have short courses also during the school time, with our class. When we were in class 1 and we were six years old, we had a course to begin to know the water. We went in the water in couple, each of us had a more expert or sure friend who could help him or her to win the fear. We liked a lot the games: to bring a glass of water on a table, to be transported by the teachers staying relaxed, but, above all, to dip in a circle, also in the deep water!

Sport day

At the end of the scholastic year we usually have the “Sport festival” in the stadium of Rignano or Incisa. About 600 pupils of four different primary schools in our district (Rignano, Incisa, Troghi and Massa) are divided in teams, have competitions and have the chance to try several sports. The event is organized by our school with the cooperation of the sport clubs of our area: football, tennis, basket, volleyball, basketball and bike riding. The stadium is colored by our t-shirts and hats; we enjoy ourselves a lot!
We like tennis because the little balls jump everywhere while we try to catch them. When we play football it’s very exciting making goals. In volleyball sometimes we wrong the change of positions, so we have to come back; in basketball it’s enough difficult to throw the ball in the basket, but we try and try. We have also the opportunity to ride a real competition byke, for champions!
We like a lot this event because we can stay together, try different sports, meet new friends and understand that the most important thing isn’t win but take part… even if last year Incisa school won! Classes 3 A – 3 B Incisa in Val d’Arno school

Our favourite sports

Tennis is a very lively sport, we run and run with the racquet. During the trainings, we do many funny exercises and games.

We like football because it’s a team sport. We have trainings and matches. During the trainings we do many exercise to become agile and quick. Our team, named Rignanese, is very strong! The rules during the training are: listen to the coach, pass the ball to the other players, be a team, don’t criticize our team mates, and, if someone is sad, help him.

Our basket team is called “geco” and when we begin and finish  a match we shout: “Un due tre, Geco olè! (One, two, three, Geco olè)!”. We have trainings twice  a week and the match with other teams on Sunday. We won all the matches, except one, in our opinion because in that one the umpire wasn’t right!

We have many friends in volleyball team and we enjoy  a lot!  When we go out from the lesson, we are hot and sweat. We have matches and cups. We apply ourselves a lot, the first time we were 4th, but last time we were the winners!
