Dana wins the WPS Learning Trophy


I have won the WPS Learning Trophy because I work well and always finish my work ahead of time to a very high standard.

Ms Clydesdale said that I'm always first to finish stuff and I set the pace for everyone to copy!

I feel happy that all my good work is recognised.

Jake is an Auckland Soccer Rep!

I am in the Auckland rep team called 'The Strikers' in soccer. There is a big tournament up in Auckland from Tuesday 27th September till Friday 1st Octber 2010. We are versing regional teams and we will be sleeping in dorms for 4 nights, where we are playing. We will be versing Wellington and other regions.
I play centre forward, because I'm a good shooter. I was training with a team lower than me, called 'The Stars'. I didn't know that I was in 'The Strikers' till yesterday. I was proud of myself to make it into a higher team and to go to the tournament.
We had a friendly against The Bay of Plenty in Pukekohe last Sunday and we beat them 2-1!
