Table Tennis with Dennis the Menace

Posted on by Mrs Bowman

This term we have been lucky enough to play Table Tennis each Friday with Dennis the Table Tennis Menace (note: his real name is Jono). 6B have really been getting into table tennis and Mr Selwood has even visited us to take on Imogen H and Cooper (spoiler alert: they have been practising hard and smashed him).

Yesterday was our last Table Tennis session with ‘Dennis’ for the term and a few of the kids were pretty devastated as they had grown quite fond of him. In particular, Jude and Finlay, who changed the lyrics to a series of songs and performed them for Dennis. As a bonus surprise, Dennis turns out to be quite a gifted pianist and joined in on our ‘So You Think You’ve Got Talent‘ competition and serenaded the kids with his own covers. The looks on the faces of Finlay and Jude say it all. Best day of their lives.

Here is the beautiful performance here:

6B stretching or bowing down to Supreme Leader Bowman? Hmm….

This term for Sport, THPS are participating in weekly gymnastics lessons. 6B meet each Thursday with Coach Sally and Coach Emily and work through a variety of gymnastics exercises. We are really enjoying our gymnastics sessions. They are hard work, but a lot of fun. Enjoy this photo slideshow of our sessions so far this term.

Mini Olympics

Posted on by Mrs Bowman

Unfortunately, due to the poor weather and conditions of the grounds, our Mini-Olympics event did not go ahead today. We have re-scheduled this event for this coming Monday 29th August.
This will mean that our K-2 and 3-6 assemblies will not be on. 2HE, who were scheduled to present next week will do this in Week 8.
Students are still encouraged to come dressed out of uniform in sporting attire of their country’s colours.
