ANNUAL

ATHLETIC VERVE

@ Nursery - IV

Education is not complete without sports and games as these activities help physical development of a person.
Physical exercise is important for a person’s health and well-being. Sports and games help students learn about
themselves and their body. The senses of the student get trained to work synchronously and cooperatively. Sports
are ingrained into the learning process at each level in DPSGF. December to March, when the winter chill sets in, our
Dipsites gear up to immerse themselves into the flavour of sports. On 6 December, 2020 Class Nursery kiddos eagerly
participated in various fun hurdle races and cheered for each other too. It was a refreshing scene to behold in our
Little Wonders’ playground.
Recognizing the importance of sports in a child’s life, fancy races were organised Class Prep on 29 January, 2020 to
build confidence, social skills and to have eye-hand coordination. Our little Dipsites eagerly participated in various
races such as Hoopla race, Backpack race, Frog race, Hurdle race etc. It was a delight to witness them!
On 20 February,2020 Classes III & IV organized an Athletic extravaganza for its champions. Following them on 3
March, 2020 Class II organized a fun filled and exciting Annual Sports Meet. Both the events started with the National
Anthem and were followed by Mass PT. The Dipsites were very excited for the various heats like 100m sprint, relay,
hurdle race and hoopla, which not only taught them the spirit of sportsmanship but also gave them a lesson of
determination, flexibility, self-belief and confidence. All the boys and girls were selected after 100% participation in
intra-section heats held during regular PE periods. Classes III & IV displayed their zeal and ardent skill in 100m sprint,
relay, sack race, and hurdle race.
As per the DPSGF legacy both the athletic meets were concluded with an inspiring and motivating speech by our ever-
inspiring Principal Ms. Surjeet Khanna who emphasized on the importance of sports in a child’s life and demonstrated
the correct postures for an athlete. The events were moments filled with fervour and excitement experienced amidst
thrills, shrills and cheers!
