Twilight Sports

This term, the whole school has been buzzing with excitement as everyone gets ready for the big twilight sports event. During sports lessons, we've been trying all sorts of fun activities. Shot put and discus have become popular because it's cool to see how far you can throw them! The running races are also a big deal, especially the 100 meters, where you need to be really fast, and the relay race, which is all about teamwork as we pass the baton. There are lots of other events too, and everyone is working hard to do their best for the big day! As the big day approached, excitement was everywhere. Last Friday, the twilight sports event finally happened. The place was filled with cheers from friends and families, echoing across the field. Everyone gave their all, showing true sportsmanship. It was an amazing day with unforgettable performances, leaving us feeling proud and with the best memories ever! Down below the sports captains have written more about what happened on the day and the rankings of the teams from Friday, no matter who won and lost everyone did their best and persevered through the events with happiness and gratitude.  

GREEN HOUSE :

Last Friday, we were part of an AMAZING twilight sports event that showcased the talent and spirit of the Green House team. The atmosphere was electric, with everyone buzzing with excitement as team members showed remarkable perseverance and dedication across various events like Discus, Shot Put, Long Jump, Hurdles, 100m Sprints and 4 x 100m Baton Relays. Each event was a testament to their hard work, and the crowd's support only added to the day's energy. A standout moment was the girls' relay team - Ariana, Natalie, Zara, and Lilian - securing a victory in the 4 x 100m relay, met with cheers from teammates and supporters. Despite not winning overall, the team’s spirit remained unshaken, embodying true sportsmanship and perseverance. We give our congratulations to the Grade Six students for their eagerness and enthusiasm as it is their last twilight sports, and a special shoutout to the sports captains for their leadership and dedication. Our deepest gratitude goes to Mr. Stokes, teachers, volunteers, and parents who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to make sure it went perfectly. Well done, Green house, for an incredible display of talent, perseverance, team spirit and sportsmanship!
