The end of basketball and the commencement of Winter sports

This is a rather late post, but about a week ago we ended the basketball season and the transition to winter sports took place.

Basketball in a nutshell was a rather challenging season and the boys really struggled to amalgamate and work as a team due to a variety of changes that took place throughout the season. We suffered a number of defeats against our main rival schools and only had one victory against Clifton.

At the end of the season, I was encouraged to have an end of season discussion with the boys, in which we reflected on the season, my coaching and  basketball as a sport in the school. The boys had some very positive feedback as well as some areas of concern; which I really took note of. I am very accomodative of constructive criticism because I believe that the moment there is nothing you're getting wrong then growth is also being confined.

This was more of a briefing and a breakdown of the structure of the LO subject for the year. The grade 12s were given precise detail on all the objectives as well as the main tasks of focus this year. An instructional teaching approach was used, as well as a questioning and discussion approach to pick up the prior knowledge of the learners regarding the structure and importance of LO in matric. Classroom management was subject to an automated reaction from the learners as a result of the appropriate voice projection of the teacher in which he achieved a sense of being in charge and respect through the way he spoke. The lesson was very informing and gave me some insight as to how the LO department has planned its way around its objectives for the year.

English and History.

I have been working with Mr Carlisle and Mr Roberts in History and English respectively.  In History I have worked with the grade 8 class on a few occasions,  teaching and marking a few of their research peices.
