To my Seventh Year NEWT Students
Sep. 24th, 2014 04:03 pmThe discussion today after the exercise ran for so long, we didn't quite get to finish.
Miss Patil, you appeared to be acting as leader for Team Alpha. Can you please tell me who you felt excelled, and who shamed themselves and their Houses?
Mr Marvolo, you appeared to be acting as leader for Team Beta. Can you please answer that same question?
Anyone else from 7th Year Defence, please feel free to chime in and tell me who you believe excelled, and who did not. I was watching, naturally, but a battlefield (even a mock battlefield) can be a swift-moving, confusing place; I do not claim to be personally aware of each and every hex thrown.
(I suppose to avoid alarming any parents reading along, I should explain that any 'kills' referred to involve no actual death; we played a delightful game this afternoon in which the students were divided into two teams. One team needed to get three members to a goal; the other team needed to stop them, ideally with a tagging hex. The students performed admirably and it ended in a draw.)
