sports day celebration
every school the most exciting activity is the annual school sports. It is held once a year, around the month of December. The winter afternoon is the ideal time for having school sports. Our school is quite famous for its sports. Last year our annual school sports day was organized on 15 December. It was conducted for two days. The first day was the junior sports day from class 1 to 5. The second day was for the senior boys from classes 6 to 12. It was held in our school play ground.
There were many events like races, jumps, throws, hop-skip-jump, basketball, tennis, musical chairs, etc. There were obstacle and walking races too. The most popular were the marble-and-spoon-in-the-mouth and sack races. Races were also arranged for the staff, teachers and parents. The participating students were divided according to age. We have four different houses. Flags of different colours were fluttering all around the ground. All the spectators were seated on chairs beside the ground.
Answer:
Preparations for the event had started a week ago. On the appointed day, our principal formally declared the day open at 10 am. The games included football and basketball matches, races, jumps and other track events. I took part in the 50 m and 100 m races and received a silver cup in the former. The team from my class won the relay race.
The 100 m race, which was very exciting, was won by my friend Mansoor. My other friend Rajat, secured the first position in the long jump. But my classmate Anish fell and injured himself during high jump.
The event came to a close with the distribution of prizes, which were given away by our principal. The following day was declared holiday by our principal. Sports is one such activity which helps us in maintaining a proper physique and a positive mentality.
