St John’s football team

4 Mar 2023

Monday The 27th of February 2023 was a football match. The St John’s football team were competing against a school called Bushey manor. We lost 11-0 but enjoyed it and had lots of fun. It was our first time playing on a big pitch but we never gave up. The star of the football team was Leandro with the best tricks in the world.

We can improve on not staying in a group and just spreading out. I hope we get invited to more amazing and fun football matches.
