Sports Day KG 1-Grade 1

The sports day of 2013 for KG1 to grade 1 started off with an overcast sky. The theme for the sports day was saving wild life. The purpose was to portray different animals with their unique abilities and their habitats. This was illustrated by the students’ representation of trees, birds, bumble bees, snakes, snake charmers, snake finders and caterpillars.

Aerobic fitness during growing years indicates good level of the muscles, bones and cardio respiratory system.  Students from SABIS are aerobically trained which helps them to exercise longer and stay healthy. The day was truly overwhelming with excellent display of dexterity by the students. The students and the Physical Education Department are truly commendable in this regard. The parents present were full of praise and were of the opinion that staying physically active makes the students academically motivated, alert and successful.

Sports day grades 2-4

The sports day for the primary section, grades 2, 3 and 4, took place amidst glorious sunshine which was equally matched by the enthusiasm of the children. Its theme was based on the cultures of Egypt, Germany, Iraq, Pakistan and the UK with the purpose of displaying various cultures, ethnicity and people around the world. Students performed regional folk dances of these countries.

All the students were dressed in traditional costumes of the countries they were representing.  It started off with an Egyptian dance performance. There was also an outstanding performance by the girls from grade 4 who performed a German bamboo dance. Pakistani culture was portrayed by girls from grade 2 who won the hearts of the audience by a beautiful cultural dance.  They carried attractive props that represented their ethnicity. The last regional folk dance was performed by girls from grade 4 who were representing the UK. Their traditional umbrella dance enthralled the audience.

Finally, the day concluded with three different types of races.  Students, staff and the parents need to be applauded for making this day a success. A sports day is a healthy addition to a school’s calendar as it really helps students learn the importance of unity, team work and sportsmanship.
