Our favourite sports
The children in our school like sports generally speaking. That’s why they do not show their PE teacher a certificate saying they should not take part in these lessons. (In Romania each pupil having certain illness/disease can get a medical certificate allowing him/her not to take part in PE lessons. Some lazy pupils do get this certificates at times, but not our school pupils.)
We practise different sports during our PE classes at school. Each class, from 1st (6 years old) to 8th (15 years old), has 2 PE lessons every week. During these lessons we practise athletics, gymnastics, basketball, volleyball, football, handball.
Some of us go to different sports clubs or sports schools in our town to train in football, voleyball, handball, football, judo/karate. Some pupils from our school also go to Ploiești and/or Pitești (these are 2 neighbouring cities) to practise swimming, dancing or water polo. That’s their way of spending their free time because they really love sports and would also like to become champions one day. There are pupils in our school who are already champions in what they do. Here are some examples:

Twins Bianca & Teodora Paraschiv and their partners, class 8 C, champions in dancing

Dancing became their most important hobby. They spend a lot of time training and taking part in big competitions.
Their family supports them a lot in what they like and have to do for this hobby. In addition, it is not at all cheap to travel for competitions, to buy the needed outfits or to pay for the dance classes.

Andreea Georgescu and her partner, class 3 A

Dancing, judo and football seem to be the most loved and practised sports in our school taking into account the number of the champions from our school.

Erika Moise, Class 3 A,  judo champion

Gabriel-Costinel Soare, Class 3 C, football champion
