JUNIOR WORLD N.2

`Juniors & Sports`

These are some questions we asked Mr. Tim,our PE teacher, about sports.

How do you expect juniors to behave this year throughout sports?

We have football and tennis this year which are quite popular so I would expect the juniors to be very well behaved.

Do you have anything new planned for us this year?

We haven’t done tennis for some time and also swimming as we missed last year,due to the renovation of the pool.

Will there be any competitions this year?

As always there are swimming and tennis competitions which the school always does well in but also there will be the National Day Athletics that we will participate in.

Apart from tennis what sport do you enjoy most?

Cricket and Golf

Who’s your favourite athlete except for yourself?

I like all athletes that excel in their sport.

Well that was the interview and we hope that you understand what we are doing this month!
