Elementary Sports Day

Elementary Sports Days – January 11thand 12th, 2012

 

ABS held its annual Elementary Sports Days on Wednesday, January 11thfor Grades 1 and 2 and on Thursday, January 12thfor Grades 3, 4 and 5. 

 

The Grades 1 and 2 Pumas, Cheetahs, Tigers and Lions all competed during the morning session before the weather cut short the day.   The weather was great on Thursday and Grades 3, 4 and 5 all competed fiercely with the Lions 4 team going undefeated on the day.  Each day consisted of the students playing three games in the first session, a snack and then playing three games before lunch. 

 

The students proudly wore their Inter-house t-shirts to play for their respective team – Lions, Tigers, Pumas and Cheetahs.  The students competed on eight different pitches - football on four, benchball on two, field hockey on one and relay races on the other.  It was great to watch all of the ABS Elementary students compete with sportsmanship and fair play. 

 

The Elementary Sports Days were fortunate to have several parents volunteer and even more attend the days' events.  In addition to ABS providing a catered lunch each day through Americana, the students were given apples and oranges by one of the parent volunteers.  The event was the successful culmination of planning by the ABS PE Department and the Elementary Administration to provide the students with the best possible sport and fitness experience.  We look forward to building on the Sports Days experience and furthering our students' health and fitness.
