Hello.

I'm going to talk about a game I played called Trugo, and I'm going to talk about two books I read called CALLIE'S CASTLE and CALLIE'S FAMILY.

But first I'm going to talk about Trugo.
Trugo is a sport invented in the railway repair workshops of Newport in the Western suburbs of Melbourne by railway workers in the 1920s.
To play the game, you need a great big wooden mallet, and some rubber rings that look like hockey pucks.
You play it on a giant green that looks a bit like a bowls green.
There are some wooden poles at each end, and if you get the rubber ring through, you get a point.
If you want to learn a bit more about it, click here.

And now I'm going to talk about CALLIE'S FAMILY and about CALLIE'S CASTLE by Ruth Park.
CALLIE'S CASTLE is about a girl that gets her own room away from her brothers and sister in a hidden room at the top of the house.
CALLIE'S FAMLY is a few years after, when her sister finds a secret pasage under the house, and when her youngest brother goes to Denmark.
And I think anyone would like them.

See ya soon!
