World Cup Soccer 2017

The World Cup has wrapped up for another year. The race for the final 2 playoff spots was just the beginning of what turned into a thrilling second half of the season. Italy, Argentina and Brazil all had to wait until the final game of the round robin to find out their fate.

As a result of a 3-3 Brazil - Argentina tie, the final four were set as Germany and Portugal awaited their opponents. Each semifinal showcased the teamwork required to win a championship. Unlike the round robin portion where scores were, at times, very lopsided, the semis proved to be very evenly matched. Both games were pushed into penalties by late game heroics, and it was Portugal and Brazil each coming out with 4-3 victories to make their way onto the finale.

Much in the same fashion as the semi finals, the championship proved to be just as exciting. With a brace by both sides, for the third game in a row, the outcome was to be decided by penalties. In the end Brazil came from narrowly making the playoffs to being crowned 2017 World Cup Champions.

Congratulations to all of this year's participants! You worked hard, you got better, and it looked like you had a lot of fun!

XCountry

The Panthers rocked the race course at the TDSB City Finals today! The competition was fierce and the course was brutal, with rough terrain and steep hills. Our 11 Panthers showed tremendous grit by running hard and ahieving their personal best. A special mention to runners who came in the top 20 (WOW!!!). Thank you team for your hardwork and representing our school at THE CITIES, you make us proud.

A HUGE thank you to the dedicated parents who supported our x-country team. If you're a parent who drove your chid early to practice, you volunteered to drive students to meets, or you came out to help with practices, we couldn't do this without your involvment. You make our school acommunity.

A special mention to a few parents....Lily and Henry's dad, Jessie Wallace who ran with the kids at EVERY practice. Elias and Kali's mom who stood on the corner of Vic. Park all those early mornings keeping our kids safe. Samantha and Chloes's mom ran with the younger students and kept them moving. Kaitlin and Cara's parents drove the Grade 4 girls team to and fro their meets and helped with the tent. Thanks to everyone involved.

Cross Country

The Panthers performed exceptionally well at the XC meet at Thomson Park on October 12th. Each runner gave their personal best and excelled. Our teams placed well as shown below. All those early morning practices, hot sweaty runs, and grinding hills paid off in the end! Now it's time to start practicing for our next race.

1) The next meet is the Eastern Conference Finals, on Friday October 20th, at Thomson Park. This meet is runners from Grades 3-8 only. Race times are roughly the same but a schedule will be posted on this blog.

2) Runners who placed in the TOP 50 as an individuals on October 12th will advance to the next meet on October 20th.

3) The first 5 runners who were apart of a team that placed in the TOP 5 TEAMS will advance to the next meet (even if you didn't come in the top 50 individually). I know this is a bit confusing. Below is information about team placement and students advancing. The results will also be posted in the X-Country board in the front hallway.

4) GETTING TO THE NEXT MEET: We do NOT have a school bus booked for Thomson Park on Friday so parents and teachers will be driving by car. If you're able to drive your own child back and forth from the meet on Friday please let us know. If you can also volunteer to drive another student please let us know. Students can leave after their race so you don't have to commit an entire day if your driving. If you drive a child aside from your own you MUST COMPLETE A TDSB DRIVER VOLUNTEER FORM found in the school office or ask one of the teachers helping with Cross Country. We will be asking students if their parent is driving or if they need a ride on Monday and Tuesday so we can get organized.

5) PRACTICE: Next 3 practices are Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday at the usual 7:45AM rain or shine. We will take a rest day on Thursday before the meet on Friday.

6) TEAM RESULTS:
                                   Grade 4 Girls - 2nd Place
                                   Grade 5 Girls - 5th Place
                                   Grade 6 Girls - 2nd Place
                                   Grade 7 Boys  -3rd Place 

**students who were not in the top 50 but will be moving as apart of these teams include: Selma Orgic, Oceanna Tucker, Harisha Harithas, Keira Perkins, Spencer Perkins (I may have missed a person or 2 so if you're not sure please come out to practice on Monday to confirm!)
   

Senior Girls Basketball

Junior Boy's Volleyball

A big congratulations to all of this year's team selections. With only 8 students showing an interest, the selection process was very easy.

We will start our practices next week, Monday and Thursday morning at 730 sharp. See you there boys!

Junior Boy's Volleyball Tryouts

Our junior boy's volleyball team will be conducting tryouts this Wednesday morning at 730 am in the gym. This is a grade 6 team which will be open to grade 5 boys as well.

This is a competitive team that will be facing other schools. Unlike the intramural leagues in which all players get equal playing time, the structure for grade 6 volleyball is slightly different. For games the team will dress 8 players. I would like to give the opportunity to at least 12 to practice, selecting the top 8 for games. Those top 8 have the potential to be interchanged, but not necessarily.  Players outside of the top 8 will have the opportunity to work on their skills for the future. This is the structure for this year's team. Please have a discussion within your family regarding this structure.

Good luck to all who tryout!

Mr. Church

Co-Ed Flag Football

Our next practice is tomorrow (Thursday) morning at 7:30am - rain or shine! Please make sure to come dressed appropriately with a change of clothing/shoes if necessary. We will also be practising Friday morning at 7:30am. See you there!

If you have been doing soccer as well but attending some practices but not sure if you're registered, please come to the gym to check. We can't wait for Thursday!

Junior World Cup

World Cup 2017 is well underway! Half the season is in the books as our five teams jockey for one of four playoff spots that are up for grabs. Speculation on which teams will make the final four is the subject of many recess debates. With each team still in position to move on, the next five games will bear significant weight in securing those spots!

The team managers, Akeelah, Kari, Abby, Jayla and Angel have done an excellent job having their teams ready to play. From picking up the pinnies, to organizing their teams and colours, every team has been ready to play from each moment the referee has stepped on the pitch. Keep up the good work!

Just a reminder there will be no game on Wednesday, October 6 due to picture day.

ANOTHER GIGANTIC THANK YOU...

At this time I would like to acknowledge and thank Ms. Lorette Jack for her very generous donation of basketballs to our recess equipment loan program. Ms. Jack's kindness is very appreciated and I know the basketballs will be very well received!!

C.B.A.

The Clairlea Basketball Association was back for its third season and still going strong. Open to all students in grades 6, 7, and 8, the popularity of the C.B.A. precipitated the creation of 3 divisions: Grade 7/8 Boy's,  Grade 6/7/8 Girls and Grade 6 Boys.

Over the last 6 weeks the action has been swift, the shots buzzer-beating and the fans needing only the edge of their seats. Every game was a very tight affair, with all playoff games being separated by 3 points or less. From the fan and player perspectives one could not have asked for more. A big congratulations goes out to all of this year's participants and of course to this year's champions: The Thunder, The Raptors and The Bulls. Here at the Commissioner's office we are very much looking forward to next year!!

Clairlea European Handball Association

In it's inaugural season, the C.E.HB.A was made available to our grades 4 and 5 students.  A high intensity, fast-paced sport incorporating the speed and agility of basketball, throwing skills, and the strategy of basically any target oriented sport and two nets.

Over the course of the last 5 weeks, teams have battled it out at recesses for the opportunity to become this year's champion. After a long, hard, and extremely fun season, The Wild Boars were crowned Champions.  As this was the first season, and an experiment of sorts, and provided there is enough interest, we will look to continue this next year. Congratulations to all that participated, it was a great season!!

Junior Boy's Volleyball Practice and Game

On Tuesday  (March 7th) the boys will be meeting at 730 am to reacquaint themselves with their skills. They will be preparing for a friendly game against/with the junior girls squad who just finished their (very successful) season. We will play Tuesday after school and should be wrapped up by 430.

Winter Activity Day 2017

On a perfect February day our Junior and Intermediate students descended down the slopes of Skyloft Ski Club and boogied around Scooter's Roller Palace. 

Our skiers and snow boarders were treated to sunshine and just-below- freezing temperatures in what turned out to be the perfect combination for some downhill fun.

Our other contingent, made up of roller skaters and roller bladers, had an equally enjoyable time as they cruised around the Palace to some groovy tunes.  

All in all it was a fabulous time had by all involved with no injuries reported. An additional bonus were the remarks made by both Skyloft and Scooters' staffers on how polite and well mannered our students were, with Scooters saying we were the best school they've ever had, something we never get tired of hearing!

A big thank you goes out to all of our parent volunteers whose time was invaluable to the success of our trip, for which we are very grateful.

Looking forward to next year!!!

Girls volleyball - upcoming week

Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

As we prepare to wrap up 2016, it is a good time to reflect on all the athletic awesomeness of the last 4 months.

With Junior World Cup, Junior and Intermediate Boy's Volleyball and two thirds of the primary World Cup in the books, we pause to celebrate all of the highs and lows of seasons past.

Upon our return in January, we look to finish off our Primary World Cup with the culmination of the grade 3 season, gear up for both our Junior and Intermediate Girl's volleyball seasons, the C.B.A. for grades 6-8, in addition to a new addtion to our athletic lineup, the junior European Handball League. And this will only take us to March!!!

On behalf of the athletic department and all of our past,  current and future coaches, we would like to extend our best wishes to our Clairlea families and look forward to seeing everyone back happy and healthy in 2017!!

JR GIRLS VBALL

Thank you to all the gr6 girls who came out this morning!  There sure is a lot of talent out there. We look forward to practicing with our Gr.5s tomorrow morning at 730 sharp! The coaches plan to take 14 girls on the vball team this year and the final roster will be posted before last recess tomorrow. Good luck to all! 

For all those who make the team, our first practice will be this Thursday morning at 730. All practices leading up to the holidays will be Tuesdays, Wednesdays and Thursdays at 730.

Jr. Boys Volleyball Wrap Up

Our tournament has come and gone and our season has come to a close. The team played very well, winning every set up to the final.

We played an equally skilled team in Samuel Hearne, who also had not dropped a set the entire day. Despite leading in both sets, our boys almost came out on top, but fell 25-23 and 25-21. It was a great day and our team showed that they belong with the best teams in the league.

Sadly our season is over, and despite pleas to the contrary, our practices have also reached their end. On behalf of Mr. Roberts, we would like to thank all of the boys for their hard work and dedication this season and hope they continue with their volleyball careers. We will have one final lunch time meeting to celebrate this seasons successes, which will be done over some pizza. When we  have a date confirmed for our lunch we will notify the team both at school and through the blog.

Junior Girls Volleyball Tryouts and practice Schedule

This year's season is upon us and we will be selecting our team next week.  Girls in gr.5 or 6 are invited to come out Monday, December 5 and Tuesday, December 6 at 730 am. Those girls who make the team will be practicing Wednesday and Thursday morning of next week. See you all there!

Jr. Boys Vball Tourney Update

All of the hard work that these boys have put in will be tested tomorrow. We are very pleased with the progress of the entire team. Every member has become a better volleyball player from where they started from 5 weeks ago. It was quite a difficult task sorting out the top 10.

The entire team will be travelling to the tourmament. We will be leaving school shortly after 8am to catch the bus (TTC).  We will be thaking the Pharmacy 67 south just a few stops down Pharmacy Ave. Please ensure your son has a lunch as we will be returning to school after lunch. If we do well our return will be close to 3, otherwise we will arrive sooner.

See you tomorrow at 730, Go Panthers!!
