There's going to be a girls v teachers rounders match at school soon. Everyone in year six who isn't taking part has been asked to go as either a cheerleader or something silly.

I am going as a lemming.

I thought they were practically asking for it. Mind you, comparing to a couple of years ago when somebody went as a banana and another as a sandwich, I might actually look remotely normal for once.

And today's lesson is: Never ask someone who's an eccentric about a particular game to go in costume to anything. You don't know what you might be getting yourself into.

Also, I'm going to beg my mum to let me dye my hair green for the summer holidays.

Very LOL.

Extremely LOL, in fact.

Rounders?  What is that?

Pretty simple. the person from the team who's batting hits the ball with their bat, runs round a circle of poles tapping each one until the ball gets to the pole in front of them, the person throwing gets the ball or the person running gets to the beginning again. If the running person manages to do this, their team scores a rounder. if they only get halfway they get a half rounder. After all the people in the people in the batting team have had a go, the teams switch. The team with the most rounders by the end of the game, as always, wins.

It's not that complicated. Honest.

I too turned vegemetarian about a week ago (although by now you've surely been vegetarian for nearly a month). I only ever ate meat when it was cooked for me; I never cook it for myself. Good on you Astral for starting so young, makes it that much easier (not that you should find it hard, I\ve found it a piece of dairy-free cake).

I have a wonderful rounders-tinged memory of my year six days (the best school years of my life). We were playing it in the school field as part of PE, when I thwacked the ball right over the perimeter fence. Instead of getting a new ball, our drama-obsessed teacher had us play [virtual rounders\, which was the same as rounders but without a ball, bat, or any sense of fun.

My Year 6 days was one of the worst school years of my life. I preferred Year 4.

Pretty pointless bit of info ;)

I remember playing rounders a LOT in primary school....we played it a lot in year 3 and 4...

grade 6 wasn't too bad, I remember once i was away from school and my friends made a substitute me out of paper...placed it on my seat, and pretended it was me

It probably wasn't, for you. I have some painful memories of that year >:(. Many of which I'd rather not talk about.

Where did you go?

No, I just haven't been around the site for a while.
