The NFL is an American football league. In the U.S.A. it is really popular. Usually people in the U.S.A. watch a football game every Sunday or Monday night.

There are 32 teams in the NFL. All the teams are in the U.S.A. Lots of the teams are in big cities, like New York, New Orleans, Chicago, and Seattle. There are nicknames for each team. For example, the nickname for New Orleans is the Saints.

The Olympic Games

I read about the Olympic Games in my school book. The Olympic Games are when all the countries come together to play sports. The Olympics come every four years. This year, 2008, the Olympics were in Beijing. In 2010 the Winter Olympics are going to be in Vancouver. In the 2008 Olympics Michael Phelps won 8 gold medals in swimming and broke Mark Spitz’s record. The USA had the most medals and China had the most gold medals. I like the Olympics because I like sports.

This is me and my rugby medals.
Maybe in the future these will be Olympic medals.

Busy Day

Sports Day is the day when me and my friends go to the field. On Sports Day we play games and sports.

We were divided into two teams. I was on the red team and we won 6 games. We had many races and tug-of-war. I had fun.

Later in the day we went to Lewis' birthday party at the Rugby Club. We played more games. We did a three-legged race.

We sang happy birthday to Lewis. The cake was so yummy. It was a fun party.
