On Saturday, 7 November 2020, Grade 3 and 4 girls competed in Devonport for the basketball championships. Our team consisted of Alicia, Chole, Milla, Sari, Ruby, Pippa, Inndii and Sienna. We played against Somerset Primary School first at 8:35am. We lost that game by 4 points.

At 11:35am we then played against Our Lady of Lourdes.  They were a very advanced team and we lost by a whole lot of points. The game was challenging.  We only got around 12 points.

At 5:35pm we played against Port Sorell Primary School and lost by around 5 points. It was a very close game.

On Sunday, at 10:35am we played Table Cape Primary School.  We lost by 10 points and it was very hard game.

We had a fun weekend playing basketball!

After three games on Saturday, we were all very tired but excited to be in a Grand Final!

For the Grand Final Burnie Primary played against Our Lady Of Lords. We won by 15 points the scores were 47- 32.

After we won the Grand Final we felt sore, happy, excited and tired.

Our team was; Chastity, Brianna, Ava, Maddie, Parisa, Charlotte, Olivia, Addison, Indee and Mia. Our coach was Jason. We played 4 games.

On Sunday, we played against Somerset Primary, and they smashed us. They were good. Then we played against Table Cape Primary again and at the end, we were 1 behind. Then Chas did a full-court lay up in the last few seconds, and we won by 1 point. It was a good game. After that everyone was very tired, ready to go back home and rest.

On the 7^th and 8^th of November, a group of Grade 5-6 boys went to Devonport to play school basketball. Our team consisted of Ryan D, Oliver R, Brooklyn H, Hayden K, Tobias J, Ryan D, Jiaming L, Bryce D, Nash A and our coach, Mr Dome and assistant coach Lewis R.

On Saturday, our first game was against Penguin District School. We ended up losing by 10, but altogether a good game. After that, we had a game off and then played Devonport Christian School. We were playing well until half-time, but they were just a better team than us. We were playing great defence. We were just too small. If we were a bit taller, it would have been a breeze.

On Sunday, we played Port Sorell Primary School in the morning and won. We all played well, and all scored in that game. In our 2^nd game on Sunday, it was the semi-final and we didn’t play our best. We lost that game, so we played for 3^rd and 4^th. We played Our Lady Of Lourdes it was a tough game and we lost by 8. We were playing well until 5 mins to go but we just ran out of energy.

That was our grade 5-6 basketball tournament on the weekend.
