SUPER SUPER late with this post! I wrote it over a month ago and always either forgot to upload or had no internet. I guess better late than never. I am going to try to be better about posting in the future ( but don’t hold me to that). As my close friends and family know…. social media is not my strong suit but I’m trying. I hope to have a Christmas edition up soon so look forward.
Now onto the late information…..
October is known in the schools as sports month. At the end of September, schools have interhouse competition with the students participating in track and field sport such as relay racing, gaveling, and high jumps. After interhouse, the top athletes compete at a regional level with the top athletes of each schools. The top of these regional competitions go on to participate in the national competition.
To make the experience more fun, the schools place the students into houses (like Hogwarts) and the kids compete for the win of the house. In my school we have Purple Heart House and Green Heart House. Me being a new teacher, I also got placed in a house with the new children (GO PURPLE HEART). In the afternoons for the weeks leading up to interhouse, the students had practice to prepare them for competition. On the day of competition, the kids went all out, decorating themselves in all purple and green.
After a super long day of outdoor activities and watching the kids from the “old” 6th graders to the youngest nursery, Purple House was declared the winners. Within the next few weeks the top children of each event from the school will be taken to compete in the Regional competition and possibly the Nationals.
