Our day of fun and excitement had
arrived!
They had to balance, roll, crawl,
dance, focus, aim and hit. Their excitement knew no bounds while participating
in these games. And best of all, these were all non competitive games... no
one game first or no one lost a race. It was all in good sprit. The true reason
for such an event was to build the spirit of sportsmanship amongst our students
as young as 3 years old. What’s more? We even had our babies from our Early
Years Day Care parading the field with their teachers and didis. All dressed in
red, they added to the much needed brightness to the gloomy morning. Early years Day Care
The cheer and enthusiasm from the
parents motivated our children to give every game their best. That’s not all!
Our lovely parents eagerly participated in the musical hula hoop game and were
seen laughing and giggling, reliving their younger days to the T. At the end of the event they were full of
praise and congratulated our P.E department and our team of teachers and
everyone responsible for such an extraordinary fun filled morning not just for
their children, but for themselves too.
And yes! The weather gods did
behave after all. Not a single drop of rain till we finished our sports fiesta,
had our refreshments and moved indoors.
Thank you God!

But, we wake up to see that the
sky was full of dark grey clouds ready
to pour any minute. We kept our fingers crossed and hoped and prayed that the
Rain God shows mercy on our little ones and waits till our event over and done
with.
We came to school and saw that
our games field was all set in an array of colours. Our P.E. department had set
the different gaming stations for our students. Slowly the field filled up with
parents who were eager to see what their little ones are going to be doing that
day. ‘Will they be running a race?”, ‘Would they have to jump over hurdles?’ or
‘Would they have to manoeuvre around obstacles to stand first?’, their doubts
grew by the minute. But they waited patiently for the event to be declared open
by our Primary School Principal Mrs. Lamba.
Soon after we had a colourful pom
pom display by our Form 1 students. Following which we had our little
enthusiasts from Pre- Nursery to Form 1 line up at their respective gaming
stations and wait for the signal to start their games.
