weeks
Age of students:11/12

Aims: use of appropriate
vocabulary to describe
sports/develop writing skills
by following a plan

Students were given a

sample about sports and
were asked to follow it and
write about their favourite
one. They also collected
information about the history
of the sport, how it started,
who started it and how it is
played. After they collected
the necessary information,
they were asked to write
about it following the model
writing they were given.
They also presented it in
class. Here are some
samples of their work.

History
Taekwondo is a martial art. It started in 1955.
In the early 1960s, taekwondo became popular in
various countries.
Since 2000, taekwondo has been one of only two Asian
martial arts (the other being Judo) that are included
in the Olympic Games.
In 2010, taekwondo was accepted as a Commonwealth
Games sport.

Me and taekwondo
I started to do taekwondo when
I was 3 years old. I do it 2 or 3
times a week in a sport center in
Melissia.
I like it very much because it
combines combat and selfdefense techniques with sport
and exercise.
I am very good at it and I have
already got black belt and one
DAN.

Me and taekwondo (cont.)

I have taken part in some
competitions and from now on I
will take part in more.
I would like to get at least 5
DAN as my instructor. This is
very difficult but I will do my
best!

BASKETBALL
BY MAKOU ARISTEA st4

My favourite sport is basketball. Basketball is a

really interesting hobby.
In 1981, Professor J. Naismith was looking to find a team
game that attracted the interest of his students. The first
race in Europe took place in 1983 between the teams of
the National French and American University YUCA. In 1896
the first professional basketball game was in New Jersey.
I play basketball every weekend and Friday with my
friends. We are 2 teams . Each team must put the ball in
the basket against another. Each shot counts as 2 points.
Basketball is really good for us , because you can be active
and you can have fun.

My favourite sport
by Oikonomou Filippos St4
My favorite sport is football.
Football was invented in England in 19th century. I play
football every day because I am an amateur player in a
football club. The rules of the game are many, few of those
are: when you are a goalkeeper you can catch the ball with
yourifhands
inside
a goalkeeper
particular area.
But
you are
not a
you cant catch the ball
anywhere. You kick the ball to get in the goalpost in order
to score and your team takes one point and the team that
ends with the higher score wins the game.
Football is very good for the players because it improves
their health and if you are a professional player you
become cleverer and you build a very healthy body.

BASKETBALL
My favourite sport is BASKETBALL
JAMES NAISMITH discovered basketball on March 11. 1891.
There are two teams of nine players. Each team must shout the ball at the basket to the opposing team.
The winner is the team which has the most points.
I play basketball in my garden. I have a big basket on the wall. Sometimes, I play with my friends at their
homes. One of my friends plays basketball with a professional team. He is really good. Sometimes I play
with my dog too. He brings me the ball. All of these happen, when I have finished my lessons.
This sport, helps us feel healthy, meet other people, we can exercise our body.
That is basketball!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Judo

My favourite sport is Judo.

Judo, meaning "gentle way" is a modern martial art, an Olympic
sport, created in Japan in 1882 by Jigoro Kano.
A judo practitioner is called a judoka. I like this sport very much.
As an exercise, it is very healthy for the body.
I do judo every Wednesday and Saturday.
