Welcome to our magazine again, this is the third issue of our paper. We are back with some new information to you. This time we’d like to talk about sport. Everybody likes sport! It’s very important in our lives, it keeps us fit and healthy. In this issue you can learn about our pupils’ favourite sports. Then you can see some photos from a special day in our school – Football Fan Day, which was organized to show how we support the Polish team for Euro 2012. We are real football fans. Have a look! 1. The most popular sports in Year IV The survey showed that the most popular sports among 10-11 years old pupils are: -football -swimming -volleyball SPORT IN SCHOOLS At school we do sport obligatory, it is one of the school subjects. In younger classes pupils do sport every day – they usually go out to the playground and play different games. It is more like having fun than playing a particular game. The most important is to move and be outside in fresh air. When we start Year 4 we have 4 classes of PE regularly every week. It is like this until the end of secondary school. We have two hours per week of sport and exercises and two more hours of our favourite games. It means we have an option to choose – the variety of choice depends on the schools.
