Senior Choir

Last week, we performed on stage. I was very nervous on the night that was the Christmas carol festival. However it turned out well and apparently our best songs were Holiday Romance, Alleluia and Santa Claus is coming to town. We had to also sing at the Teacher Appreciation Day Lunch, the Primary Assembly and the Second Assembly. All in all being in choir was a wonderful experience and I learn to mainly sing in Alto and control my breathing to create the best voice. Performing in front of people has always made me nervous but this has quelled my fear in that aspect. I am glad I tried something new and faced my fears

Basketball

This week, we have been working on shooting, fast breaks and lay ups. The important part of these exercises are that they are in preparation for the matches. I am getting better at dribbling while sprinting. I have more control over the ball especially on the left side where I had most trouble. I am becoming fitter because of the suicides even though they are tough to do. I no longer need my inhaler as much as before to show my increase in fitness. I however need to  work on my shooting from long distances since this is what it holding me back. I am much better this year compared to the last year I was in the basketball team.

Cancer charity project

We had the non-uniform day on Wednesday were the students had to wear pink and / or white to support the cancer charity foundation and they paid UGX5000 each. We were successful in this fundraiser and mad UGX466,000. This amount is good and we hope to continue the other fundraisers to make more money. We plan to visit the cancer home this weekend and it will be the last one. We have invited other students to come along and they are organizing activities and baking food for the visit.

Basketball

Yesterday, we had a game at Heritage International School and sadly we lost. I got to play most of the game and discovered that I had stamina and strength to withstand the time. I may complain about the suicides Mr. Blinkin makes us run during practice but they pay off. I was very good in defense especially since we were playing zone defense which is easier and more strength retaining. I learnt that even if we lost, we did work together as a team and we have room for improvement and I hope to improve my dribbling and shooting.
