Inter-house sports

The upper primary students (grades 4 to 7) battled it out in the game Benchball. The aim of the game is to be the first team to have everyone on the bench by throwing the ball to a teammate on the bench and it being caught. However, the bench is located in the opposing team’s side and the other team is doing the same too and trying to prevent balls being caught on the bench. Teams had to be careful, because if one person fell off the bench, the whole team (but one) had to start again.
Results: 1st place: Kasompe, 2nd place: Luano 3rd Place: Musenga

The lower primary students (grades 1 to 3) participated in a number of Target games. One game was the Team Target Challenge where as a house team; the aim was to collect as many cones by aiming and hitting at a cone. This was a race between the other teams, lots of cheering and shouting could be heard. The other games were bowling and a coin toss which tested their fine motor skills.

At Amano we want to say thank you to parents and guardians that came and cheered and supported on their children and other students.

The best team goal came from Sani of Kasompe passing square across the circle and Nkwali cooly playing a first touch shot on target. There were lots of learned skills on display too which, as a teacher, was nice to see. Kasompe boys were first on 2 wins, Musenga 2nd on goal difference with Luano 3rd. Girls: Luano first with a draw and win, Musenga 2nd with 2 draws and Kasompe 3rd.
