With less than two weeks of school to go, it’s still all happening in the P.E. department.
During their last two sessions in the pool, Year 4 will be learning about personal survival and water safety. Year 1 have their clock sports lesson with the visiting coaches. Year 3 have their T Ball tournament at Happy Valley. Year 5 have their tennis tournament at the Hong Kong Tennis Centre and Year 6 have their basketball tournament here at school.
As always we encourage parents to come along to these sessions and see what their children have been learning during their P.E. lessons. The dates, times and locations for each of these events can be found on the important dates section at the front of this newsletter.
These units have been delivered by the teachers and our fantastic team of expert coaches that come into Bradbury School to work with the teachers and students. A huge ‘thank you’ goes out to all the coaches that have worked with us this accademic year. Their input to the P.E. program has been invaluable!
Now for a few words from our basketball coaches:
Coach JJ and Coach Stan want to take this opportunity to congratulate all the students from Year 1, Year 4 and Year 6 who have been working on their basketball skills and enjoying the inter-class competitions arranged by Ms. Farry in Term 3. Special graduation wishes go to Malik Hood from Coach Stan for all the great work each Friday over the past year.
If you would like your child to further develop their basketball skills with Coach Stan and Coach JJ check out their summer program below.

On Thursday 30 June we finish off the dance units of work for this year with a dance assembly. Children from Years 1- 6 will perform in the assembly along with some special guest dancers.
It has been a busy couple of weeks with after school activities. We have had a whole host of cricket matches, biathlon races, netball matches and rounders tournaments. Full match reports and photographs from each of these events can be found on the P.E. page of The Buzz. Take a look and see what our students have been up to in their spare time.
Next Thursday, 23 June, is the last after school activity session for this academic year.
THERE ARE NO SCHOOL RUN AFTER SCHOOL ACTIVITIES IN THE FINAL WEEK OF TERM.
In order for you to plan your child’s timetable for next academic year I have attached both the annual overview of the after school activities we will be offering as a school next year and the sign up form for term 1’s after school activities. Please note that all school teams will be selected from children who sign up for these after school activities.
A number of Bradbury School students go and join clubs outside school to further develop the skills they have been introduced to here at school. Hockey is no exception to this. As we can see from the recent Hong Kong Football Club Hockey end of season awards there are some talented hockey players starting their hockey playing here at Bradbury School. Well done to the following players on their recent awards.
