Ascham Falcons Flash Again
The First Fling by Orla Dogra
On Friday 7th June a Major League Baseball ceremony was held in Roger Ascham Primary School. People flew all the way from America to London to celebrate the opening of this baseball pitch. These people were proper MLB players! People from different classes played on the pitch with the MLB players.
Year 6 and Year 5 all the way down to Nursery sat on the field and watched Dillon, in Year 4, cut the rope as everyone cheered in delight, but what made everyone laugh and smile were the mascots Mr Met and Mrs Met (supporting the New York Mets) and Phanatics (supporting the Phillies). By the look on people’s faces the favourite mascot had to be the Phanatics with his classic belly roll.
The part that made people feel proud of themselves was when people found out who had won the reading challenge held by the MLB company. The winners were 5A and 4B. As a result of them winning, the children in these classes were given baseball caps signed by the players.
Dillon was asked to speak at the ceremony and said, “Baseball is a good and very fun, active sport because you get to move around a lot and are able to have a go at everything,”
The most popular highlight of the day is when Phanatics kissed Mr Hanks (the Headteacher of Roger Ascham Primary School) because it made everybody laugh including Mr Hanks himself…but it didn’t stop his face going red.
The day went really well and it was a great day of celebrations. Everyone enjoyed it and had great fun.
