Tristan's Rugby game

Imagine this: the smell of wet grass, the warm sun on your skin and boys running around like they were soldiers. I've been lucky enough to watch Tristan's first rugby game. I'm not sure what the score was but they looked like they had fun. In reading and writing, we have been looking at "making connections" by using our prior knowledge (what we know) and our past experiences.
