Today, Mr Mathew and I launched the TPPS Table Tennis Club. The club will run every Friday during lunch time. During these sessions, students will have the opportunity to refine their table tennis skills, learn the rules and play matches against their friends. Every week, a different group of students will get the opportunity to participate, with Grade 6 starting us off this week. We look forward to hosting Grade 5 next week.

Over the past few weeks, students in Grades 5 and 6 have been participating in a Softball Unit. They have practised their pitching, catching and batting skills, as well as learnt the rules and strategies required to be successful in a game. I have observed plenty of improvement over the course of the unit and am looking forward to the upcoming Cricket Unit.
