Snow at Alexanders International School

2010-01-11T06:25:00.000-08:00

As you can see the first week of terms was very white! We managed to hold a few indoor tournaments of volleyball and squash but on Wednesday and Thursday we built a huge snowman and played in the snow.

Today is the start of our gymnastics and basketball programmes and both the students and staff are very excited about these sports. At least it will be warm inside!

Alexanders International School Term One Sports Report

2009-12-28T12:29:00.000-08:00

The first term has finished and as we all look forward to the start of the new term I wanted to recap the first term.

For the first half of the term we concentrated on Orienteering, Volleyball and Cross Country running. Everyone had a lot of fun learning orienteering and luckily nobody got lost, well not for that long! The Bawdsey estate allowed us to create numerous different maps utilising the sea, forest, field and river settings and this was a challenging start to PE for the students. In volleyball there was great improvement from the beginning to the end, personally I was very impressed with everyone willing to learn and play fairly.

For the second half of term we concentrated on Squash, Badminton and Fitness training. Miss Lucia focused on badminton and I know she was very impressed with the talent we have at the school. I taught squash and this was very well received with all players learning the sport for only the first time and really getting good at it. Mr Istvan concentrated on the fitness part and with the use of the Multi-stage fitness test, abdominal test and fartlek training there was a huge improvement in all of the students fitness levels.

Well done to all of the students for a good start to PE at the school and I look forward to having the school compete in some basketball games in the coming term as well as selected students playing in inter-school squash games.

Till next time.

Mr Paul.
