Match Report: Workington v Cockermouth

On the 22 September Workington played Cockermouth. (We play for Workington.) As the game kicked off the ball went straight to Workington. The ball was kicked down the pitch to the right winger, and all of a sudden he crossed it into the box and the ball deflected off the goalkeeper. It went in the bottom right corner. Only two minutes into the game and Workington were 1-0 up.

When Cockermouth kicked off again they just thumped it up the field to Workington’s keeper. He played it to the left-back and he knocked it up to the left-winger. As the winger took a shot it deflected off another player and fell at the left-back’s feet. He took a shot from the halfway line. It went over all the players and landed at the back of the net. He raised his arms in joy. Then it was half time. Workington were having the time of their lives but Cockermouth were furious.

Ten minutes into the second half and Workington were teasing them as they took another shot and another goal was created. A few minutes on and Cockermouth were even more frustrated, so they decided to play their type of game and while they were attacking they decided to pick up a goal (3-1). But it didn’t stop Workington scoring another astonishing goal. It was all over as it was too late for Cockermouth to come back.

The whistle went.  Game over. 4-1. It was the best game of our season so far as we were on top form.

 Feel The Force

Yesterday Year 6 went to the Carnegie Theatre in Workington. As soon as we all walked in there we each chose a seat. I sat on the second row. On my right was my friend Matthew. And on my left was Cory. Then the show started. We all shouted hello. A man told us his name was Richard and that he was from the Science Museum in London.

Richard was there to tell us about forces like pushes and pulls, gravity, air resistance, aerodynamics and friction.

People say that Sir Isaac Newton was sitting under an apple tree when an apple fell on his head and he suddenly thought about gravity.  Also, we learnt about his three laws of motion.

We also got to meet Phil the Frog, a stunt frog from Hollywood.  Richard showed us Phil’s Ferrari stunt car (actually it was a red skateboard).  Phil was pushed on the skateboard and when it stopped Phil flew through the air until gravity brought him to the floor. 

Phil was also taped to a rocket launcher (a bottle attached to a foot pump).  There was water inside it and when Richard pumped air into the bottle the water was pushed out and the rocket and Phil flew through the air. It was funny.

There were many other things that happened including some tricks with a tea pot and a tablecloth.

It was a great afternoon.  I would love to see it again.
