Form 6 "Haka"
In Games, Form 6 is learning the “Haka”. The “Haka” is a traditional war dance originated from the all black. It is very common before rugby matches. It is a so called “posture dance”. The “Haka” is accompanied by the shouting of words. The “Haka” we learnt is the most famous: “Ka Mate”.
New Year's Tournament at CLIB
On the 6th January 2012, Division 4 & 3 travelled up to Braga, to play in the first ever New Year's Tournament, held at the "Universidade do Minho", where all boys and girls played basketball. Three schools participated in the tournament, OBS, CLIB and CLIP. The bus arrived around nine o'clock, and division 3 girls had to go straight into a game against CLIP. We were all very worried, as it was our first game in a long time. Although we tried very hard, we did not manage to win the game, we lost 12-34. next it was boys turn to play against CLIB, they were more prepared for the tournament as they had been trained for Lisbon during the Autumn term. They fought very hard, and played fantastically but managed to lose the game by only four baskets. The next game was also the boy's, they played against CLIP, they have a very strong team, unfourtunately the OBS boys did not manage to win, as the other team managed to score many points, they lost 12-54. After lunch, the Division 3 girls played against CLIB, it was a very close match, the points staying very close together throughout the match. In the end we lost by only two baskets, we were very disappointed. For our last match, we played OBS girls vs OBS boys, it was a very entertaining game, as we were not expecting to play against our own school.
The OBS girls scored 36 point in total, also for committing the smallest amount of fouls in the tournament in Division 3, the OBS won the FairPlay trophy. The OBS boys scored 35 points in total and also only committing 10 fouls, the least amount as well as the girls. In the end both division 3 teams ended up in 3rd place.
Overall we enjoyed the tournament very much, it was a very good experience and gave us a chance to meet new people!

Lisbon Sports Festival
Division 3 girls:On Thursday 17th November, students from Forms 4 to 9, travelled to CAISL (Carlucci American International School Lisbon) to participate in Autumn Basketball and Football Tournament. All of our teams were very excited to see the new school where we would be playing at for the first time! When we finally arrived, we payed a quick visit to the hotel to drop our bags off and made our way to the tournaments venue. When we arrived we settled our meeting point and all the teams separated out, checking game schedules and supporting each other in matches.
Girls Division 3 first football match was against DSL, we were all nervous because we knew they were a strong team, and as our first of six opponents, we knew it would be a tough match. In the end we lost the match 2-0! Our second match of the day was against CLIP, a team we had beaten at a practice match before leaving for the tournament, we held strong and managed not to allow them to score, they did a good job themselves as we did not score either, in the end the game tied 0-0, we were all tired but glad we had been able to secure one point towards our placing!
We were all exhausted by the end of the first day, having woken up extremely early, and having played sports all day, all of us were glad to get back and have a shower and relax after that!
On Friday 18th November, we woke up and everyone went to breakfast! We ate and made our way to CAISL by bus. Our first match was against St. Julians, we were all aching a little bit from the day before, but we did our best in this match and managed to only lose 4-0, an improvement to last year’s 11-0! We played again at the end of the day against ISA, a very strong team, who had not lost any matches so far. In this game we managed to score one of the two goals we scored in the whole tournament, we were very proud of Ana Filipe Bela! Although we managed to score, the other team had already scored two goals; unfortunately we lost yet another match! As we had our last match of the day at 14:30 we managed to have time to watch the Division 3 Boys Basketball, who were to play against the home team; CAISL! Most of the OBS’ teams were sitting together supporting the boys and cheering for them endlessly, although the boys tried their best, they were beaten! We all gathered and made our way to the bus to return to the hotel to have supper! We all went to bed early, tired from all the events of the day, getting all of our bags completely wet and running to go and get them as soon as we finished our last game!
On the last day of the tournament, we all woke up earlier than usual because the game schedule had been changed; therefore we had to be at the school at 08:30! We warmed up for our first game which was at 10:00, it was against St. Dominic’s, a strong team, but not un-beatable! We managed to score our second goal of the tournament to tie this game, we were proud of our performance! Our last match of the tournament was against CAISL, we tried very hard in this game, but the team got one chance to score and used it! We lost 1-0! We were disappointed knowing that we had come in 7th place!
The last matches of the day were Division 3 and 5 games, the boys were playing basketball, both of the OBS teams won their last games! Division 3 beat DSL by one point, and Division 5 won against CAISL by a few points! Everyone was cheering their teams on and we were all very happy to know that we had won those games! At last we had the awards ceremony, overall divisions 4 and 5 did very well! Division 3 Girls were very proud to have won the Fairplay trophy and the boys managed to come joint fourth with DSL!
The Lisbon Sports Festival was extremely fun for everyone! We played sports and enjoyed ourselves supporting each other in all our matches!
