I love cricket! By Joe In the summer I love playing sports outside with my friends and family. I like playing football, tennis and badminton, but my favourite sport is cricket.
When the weather is good we watch cricket matches at Lord’s cricket ground. I go to the children’s lessons there every Wednesday and the teachers say I am very good. I’ve got my own helmet, bat and clothes so I can practise at home. I want to play for England and it is very important that I practise every day!
I love cricket because it is a fun and relaxing sport and I can spend the whole day outside in the sun!
Rugby is the best! By Sam
I like cricket but it’s very slow and you need lots of equipment. Rugby is my favourite sport because it’s fast and exciting and all you need is a ball and a field!
On the weekends my dad teaches me rugby on the school field, even if it’s raining. Rugby is fun in all weathers! However, it is a difficult sport and being fit is very important, so I go cycling and running all the time.
Whenever we have time, my friends and I go to watch rugby matches at the Millennium Stadium in Cardiff, Wales.
