At the end of our Crossover games UOI Y1&2 had their first end of unit house competition! With everyone outside on a lovely February morning, the students were all set to compete and have fun.  

二月的风，揉揉拂面，和煦爽心，一年级和二年级的学院竞赛拉开帏幕。学生们在完成夺旗游戏后，进行了首场学院探究竞赛。学生们为此做了充足的准备，他们沉浸和享受角逐当中。

Each house needed to display the values we have been working on throughout the year, as they worked together to create a team plan and assign roles. When the 1st round of matches began there was a flurry of running, tagging, and saving as teams strived to take opponent’s balls, evade defenders, and save teammates that weren’t quite quick enough!  

在竞赛中，从制定计划、分配任务到团队合作，学生们均体现出其学院的品质和价值观。第一轮竞赛中，学生们在赛场上奔跑、追逐、防守。各学院的参赛者都努力地抢夺对手的球，躲避防守者，并保护同伴。

Teachers were constantly on the lookout for student’s displaying leadership, perseverance and empathy, all students were potential house MVP’s and with the chance of receiving this special medal all the students were the perfect teammates!   

孩子们在赛场上展现出了领导力、意志力、同理心，与同伴相互配合，珠联璧合。所有学生都是潜在的学院“MVP”（最有价值参赛者），均有机会获得这枚特殊的奖章。

After each match the competing houses shook hands or high fived the opposing house, showcasing tremendous sportsmanship and great attitudes, they refreshed with water then immediately got planning underway for the next round of matches. Students displayed great flexibility in changing roles, changing plans, and working together throughout the house competition, our sporting values were everywhere to see and hear. 

虽然这是学院之间的竞赛，但各学院的学生在赛后都以友好的方式握手和击掌，展现出良好的体育竞赛精神和态度。继而，他们为下一轮比赛做准备，迅速地调整比赛战略、模式、计划，呈现出超强的灵活性、适应性和正确的体育价值观。

In year 1, Panda house came 3rdplace, Leopards took 2nd, but, with 3 wins out of 3 matches the house winners were the Terrific Tigers!!!!  In year 2, there was a three-way split for second however Leopard’s were the overall winners with three wins.
