BASKETBALL by Jemma and Kaleb

Hi, I’m Jemma and I’m Kaleb.

We are the captains for the basketball teams this week. These games were on the 10/3/2017 against Montmorency Primary School.

The score for the mixed team was 28 – 13 our way and the score for the girls’ team was 18 – 2 our way.

The highlight for the mixed team was when Mrs. Paul, our referee, tried to take out one of our own players!!

The highlight for the girls’ team was that we gave two sports awards to Montmorency because we couldn’t decide on just one person.

The sports awards for our school were given to Lachlan S. and Sienna G.

In 2016 Sherbourne PS hosted two Japanese Teacher assistants, Ayano and Minako. During their stay they completed a Karuta project with our Upper School students. Karuta is a Japanese card game. Sherbourne students made Karuta cards which the girls took back to Japan to submit as part of the Karuta project. Ayano recently contacted one of her Sherbourne host families to let them know that at the recent Karuta festival Ayano received a certificate on behalf of the children of Sherbourne. Sherbourne Primary school was given the best creative Karuta award. Well done!

On the second last school day of 2016, Sherbourne students, staff and many parents and grandparents enjoyed our annual Billy Cart Grand Prix. The weather was perfect and we had an amazing number of tyres, which made for an authentic and safe track. Congratulations to our winners – Flynn and Thomas in Year 2 who won for the 2^nd year in a row. Amazingly it is  the 8^th time Flynn’s  family name has been on the trophy. Big brother Dylan  was in attendance and presented the trophy. Well done to all participants and thanks to all the many helpers!

The Year 3 and 4 students commenced Term 4 with a wonderful camp at Phillip Island. Their favourite activities were the giant swing, archery, playing on the beach and visiting the penguins. Students enjoyed the 3 day, 2 night camp and loved the Teddy bear competition and disco at night. Thank you to our fabulous team of teachers and parent helpers who came along and made it such fun!
