Sporty Teachers!
At Think this month we are focusing on the PYP learner profile of being a Risk-taker. I thought it would be interesting to ask the teachers at Think about something that they had achieved that was linked to sport where they really took a risk or felt like they had achieved something special.
Ms Choy - "I used to play Badminton every week when Castor and his sister were little. They always came along to watch and take part".
Mr Meehan - "At my Primary school in 1995 I was part of the team that won the County title in Gaelic football".
Ms Lehman - "I completed my first half marathon in November which made me very proud. When I was at school and aged 10 I rode a bicycle all the way across the state of Iowa with my father. It was 800 kilometres!".
Mr Declan - "I once played in a professional snooker tournament in Rotterdam".
Ms Leanne - "I have a passion for skipping and once took part in a 24 hour skipathon. Even now I sometimes get the urge to skip and after school there is nothing I enjoy more than skipping around Hong Kong".
Ms Crystal - "I won the 400 metre race three times while at Secondary school. I was always the shortest girl in the races, but very fast!"
Mr Burns - "I was 5th in the Multi-events decathlon championship (for the whole of England!) when I was 20 years old".
Mrs Stock - "I competed in the inter-state 200 metre sprint when I was at Secondary school.
Mr Ian - "My favourite athletic memory is when I was made Captain of my school football team".
Mr Wayne - "I used to play tennis and squash all the time when I was growing up. There was a club along the road so I played my sister a lot. I was brilliant at racquet sports".
Ms Kelly - "I was chosen to represent the whole of the North of England in Tennis".
Ms Elvina - "At secondary school and at University I really enjoyed taking part in Chinese dancing competitions".
Ms Peacock - "I have tried climbing Mount Kilimanjaro three times but have never reached the summit - yet!"
Ms Purti - "When completing my Duke of Edinburgh award I had to walk a really long way".
Ms Melanie - "I completed the Hong Kong half marathon last year. I was also really proud to win the Parent and Teacher race at Sports day (although Ms Kelly is still arguably the fastest member of staff!)".
Ms Winnie - "I can really remember the first time that I swam 100 metres. It felt like a great achievement".
Ms Amy - "My favourite activity is dancing. It makes me feel excited and happy. I dance at least once a week".
Ms Carrie - "I have climbed over 12 metres high when rock climbing!".
I certainly didn't realise that the teachers at Think were so sporty! So over the Easter holidays make sure you set yourself a goal and STAY ACTIVE!
Thank you teachers and have a wonderful Easter holiday everybody.
