Answer:
Sports are very important for developing healthy and strong body. Sports play great role in improving and maintaining the health and fitness, improving mental skills and concentration level.
Most schools arrange for ‘Annual Sports’ once every year. The annual sports day of our school was held on 15th January. On this occasion, our school building and surroundings were nicely decorated with flowers, colour-papers and balloons. The Collector of the city was the chief guest. He hoisted the national flag with the national anthem and declared the sports meet open by freeing the pigeon in the sky.
Generally a month of preparation precedes the day. A month prior to the event, all the children of the school were divided into four houses and respective sports groups such as Primary classes and secondary classes.
The students took part in various games. Main items of sports were high jump, long jump, short put, javelin throw, various races and disk throwing. The participating students display their ability through these sports. Some team events were also organized like Kabaddi, football, volley ball and tug of war. Our P. T. teacher conducted the entire show. He was assisted by three other teachers. The events closed with a prize giving ceremony. The chief guest gave the prizes to the winner. Many students of our class won medals. I won one medal in shot put. It was really a day of great joy for us.
