The much-awaited Annual Sports Day at Ekya School, Byrathi was held on Friday, 20th December 2019, with great zeal, excitement and frolicsome atmosphere. Since this was also the last working day of the year 2019, we also had Christmas celebrations at school.
The events for the day began with Montessori races. Sub-juniors, juniors, and seniors played ‘pick and place race’, ‘bean bag balanced race’ and ‘pick the ball race’. Once the races began, the air was filled with cheering and tons of encouragement for the young athletes.
This was followed by Grade 1 participating in the ‘pick and place’, ‘hurdle race’ and ‘drag-a-ball races’. Up next was Grade 2 participating in the ‘pyramid race’, ‘run-hoop-jump race’ and ‘crab race’. The students of Grade 3 participated in ‘flip the cone race’, ‘hurdle race’ and ‘crab race’. Grade 4 participated in the ‘hoop and hurdle race’ and the ‘skipping race’. Students of Grade 5-7 participated in the ‘medicine ball throw’ distance and skipping race for boys and girls separately.
After the races, freestyle swimming races were conducted to promote swimming as a competitive sport among students. Certificates and medals were awarded to the winners by the Head of School. It was a day filled with sportsmanship, enthusiasm and memories to cherish.
