Team time - Stop Ball

On Friday the team had a game of stop ball to end the week.  This time to add a bit more fun to it we decided to play girls vs boys.


There was a lot of pressure on the boys to win as they were talking themselves up a big game.



The girls played really well and held their own against the boys and if I was to call it I would say the girls gave the boys a good run for their money.








Nothing like a bit of competition between the genders.

Sports day - YAPP

Today we held our annual YAPP sports day where schools from the district came and competed in a variety of events.


The PE department did a wonderful job in organising such a great day.









Some 600 children competed in vortex throw, sack races, tug of war, sprints, hurdles, high jump, shot put, chicken throw (not a real chicken) and long jump.


It was a scorcher of a day but the children and staff survived being out in the sun for most of the day.

Returning to class after lunch the children were happy to be out of the sun and in an airconditioned room.


It didn't mean they were keen to do any work thou.

Lucky for our class we had swimming and it was a great relief for them to have a swim at the end of the day.

Angkor Wat Run Bike trip

On Friday two buses departed ISPP for Sem Reap for the 20th Internation 1/2 Marathon. Our children were not intending on runing 21km but run 3km and bike 30km or 17km.

48 children loaded into two buses departed ISPP at 8am and travelled
 the long and dusty road to Sem Reap. After 8 hours in the bus we finally arrived at our hotel.

Time to unpack and hit the pool followed by dinner and down time in preparation for 4.30am wake call on Saturday morning.


After a quck bite to eat at 4.30am the children were back onto the buses and travelled out to Angkor Wat at 5am for the bike stage of the trip.



Children competed in the 17km or 30km events.














After the bike leg it was a dash back to the hotel for breakfast, swim, down time, lunch and then back to Angkor Wat for a look around the temple and a shop at the markets.

Sunday had the children woken again at 4.30am for a 5am bus trip back out to Angkor Wat for the run stage of our trip.

Some 8500 people from all over the world were competing in the various run events. ISPP had a great start position for the 3km run with all the children first on the start line.



Mr Ben finished the event in 7th place with Mr Simon a bit further down the pack.

All our children ran their hearts out and can be really proud of their acheivements.

After another quick dash back to the hotel it was breakfast, showeres, bags packed and back on the bus for another 8hour trip back to ISPP.

Thank you to Mr Ben for his great organisation. It was a wonderful, action packed weekend. Thank you to Mr Andy for keeping everyone on their toes and to all the other superb teachers and Chanta for giving up their valuable time to supervise the children.

Energy guest speaker

Today we had Mr Pisey from Kang HWA E & C  a local renewable energy company come and talk to the children about "What is Energy". He also talked about non-renewable and  using renewable energy - solar power as an alternative.









It was great listening to him and hearing about alternative ways to generate power.

It would be great if more people were using renewable power around the world vs non-renewable (oil, coal) which is causing major pollution in the world.



Maybe these G4 children will be the future drivers of renewable energy usage in Cambodia and around the world.

Thank you to Gangmin's mother Si-yeon for organising and bringing in Mr Pisey
