Sports Day

    Last Thursday (15th September) we had sports day. It's a day when all of the school participate and compete in various physical activities. The way it works is the whole school is divided into four teams:
    - Pushkin (Red)
    - Tolstoy (Yellow)
    - Gogol (Blue)
    - Checkov (Green)
    I am in Pushkin. We did all kinds of different activities like dodgeball, basketball, football, sprints and relays, voleyball...
All of the teams compete in all of the activities and if they win they get points which go to their total house points. Those points are accumulated not just from sports day but all throughout the year. Through these activities I increased my awareness of my strengths and areas for growth and of course worked collaboratively.
    As Year 12 we were put in charge to organize our teams - each year had to sign up with what sport they're gonna play. We also had to choose our teams mascot, song and celebration dance. To help us do that, each team had a captain and a vice-captain which delegated some work to other Year 12s.
    When the sports day was finished and all the points were summed up, it turned out that my house (Pushkin) was winning :)
