Y1 & Y2 學院競賽

Each house needed to display the values we have been working on throughout the year, as they worked together to create a team plan and assign roles. When the 1st?round of matches began there was a flurry of running, tagging, and saving as teams strived to take opponent’s balls, evade defenders, and save teammates that weren’t quite quick enough!?

在競賽中，從制定計劃、分配任務到團隊合作，學生們均體現出其學院的品質和價值觀。第一輪競賽中，學生們在賽場上奔跑、追逐、防守。各學院的參賽者都努力地搶奪對手的球，躲避防守者，并保護同伴。

Teachers were constantly on the lookout for student’s displaying leadership, perseverance and empathy, all students were potential house MVP’s and with the chance of receiving this special medal all the students were the perfect teammates! ?

Students displayed great flexibility in changing roles, changing plans, and working together throughout the house competition, our sporting values were everywhere to see and hear.

Year 5 – Handball House Competition

五年級手球競賽

The Year 5 students arrived at the lesson overflowing with enthusiasm to take part in the handball competition. Due to the uneven numbers in two of the houses, it was decided to amalgamate the houses. All pupils showed maturity and accepted the decision and quickly began to sort out positions for the first game. The games were all endtoend with some excellent passing, receiving and overlapping play. After three rounds of exciting games, it was time to see who the overall winners were. Tied in second place were the Leopards and Tigers, and the Dragons and Pandas won. Now it was time for the MVP awards. Once again it"s so difficult to decide as all pupils were outstanding. After several minutes contemplation, Mr Andy and Mr Dean decided on the following. Wendy, Diya, Legend, Harvey and Hayden were to receive the MVP awards. Well done all of Year 5.

五年級學生滿懷熱情地參加手球比賽。由于兩個學院人數不均，我們決定合并學院。學生們愉快地接受了這個決定，并迅速開始為首場比賽做準備。賽場上出現了迅速敏捷的傳球、接球和重疊的動作。經過三輪精彩絕倫的比賽，并列第二的是豹子學院和老虎學院，龍學院和熊貓學院脫穎而出成為冠軍。所有的學生均表現出色，老師難以評選本次競賽的MVP。經過幾分鐘的沉思，Mr. Andy和Mr. Dean做出了決定，MVP有：Wendy、Diya、Legend、Harvey、Hayden。五年級的每一位學生都是杰出的參賽者！
