Missed out an important point from the previous post–especially for those MIAs - and reminder for those present–Mr Lim wants a copy of your result slip–pass your report book to me the last day of the term for photocopying.
More about Bridging Gaps for Sports CCA–it's scheduled a month later on 15 Oct 2008 morning. Bridging Gaps is an annual half-day programme in which we hope to recruit P6 students who are talented in Sports to come to our school. On our part, of course we would be looking out for students athletes with potential or show interest in running.
We've request to invite these 4 schools because they have a T&F team in the school - Fuhua Primary, Zhenghua Primary, Jurong Primary and Pioneer Primary. The final list is still pending as it will also depend on which schools the other Sports CCA nominated.
The 10 tentative ambassadors for Cross-Country / Track & Field are:
Selas, Reshmi, Kanessan, Wei Sheng,
Wan Ping, Nikki, Yi Ying, Samuel, Jin Ming, Jia Wei
Will inform again when the final list of schools who are invited is out; guess some of you rightly point out that the P6 will feel more welcomed if they can talk to an ex-senior from the same Primary school.
Btw, have you heard? Singapore's first ever gold medal in Paralympics comes from Yip Pin Xiu for 50 m backstroke
[She set a new world record of 57.92 s and that's for her heats]

Training 120908
So it's the last official training as CCA stands down for EOY preparation.
Alas... one of the sessions where many (especially the Sec 2s) were mia, for official reasons or otherwise (excuses?). Anyway, the team did 7 sets of circuits - knee lifts (using cones); Mr Lim pointed out various observations (which he did not wish to repeat):
- Landing (after over the cones) should be with forefoot; not flat foot.
- Lift the knee high and run across the cones; not skip or jump sideways.
- Strong swing of the arms by the sides (front and back).
- Maintain a straight, strong posture and look up front; not with tensed up shoulders and/or focusing on the ground.
- This has been emphasized times and again -> punctuality in warming up; need not depend on the vice captains to get the team ready; everyone can be more conscious about starting on time. Collecting of equipment and set up should be a team effort, regardless of level or gender.
That's the "practical" part–training!
Now's the "theory" i.e. academic!
For many of you, there's likely to be quite a lot to catch up; please inform me early if you need help for Mathematics and/or Physics (regardless of level/class).
& bear Mr Lim's words in mind, self train if possible, preferably in small groups with your teammates. It shouldn't take long (~1 hour) if you are focused.
Lunch, followed by consultation with me (while digesting food), then self-training -> Sounds good, doesn't it? =)
