So how can you nurture your child’s sense of teamwork in
pre-school?
At Indus International School, we believe in enhancing
teamwork and building lifelong skills of collaboration through sports. As the
early year are the critical windows of learning, learning teamwork skills in
these crucial years is imperative.

skills through the display at their Annual Sports day. After weeks of hectic
preparations, hard work and rigorous practice for the much anticipated 2nd

Ms. Navita Kishan, Head of Primary School and IELC’s, Indus
International School was our esteemed chief guest for the august event held on
9th December, 2016. Students participated enthusiastically and displayed their
fine and gross motor skills adroitly and dexterously in the age-appropriate
races and obstacle courses.
The event began through a delivery of the welcome note by Head
of Centre, Ms. Nishita Israni, followed by a Torch Run and a well-coordinated
March Past. Post the Oath taking by the students our Chief guest declared the
meet open by releasing balloons followed by a peppy dance, the much loved,
‘Hokey Pokey’ by the Nursery Class. Next
was the Ribbon Dance display by the older students.
The youngest lot of our students, the Nursery class
displayed excellent balance and gross motor skills through the Teddy Bear Race.
The Reception class displayed their listening, teamwork and collaboration
skills through an obstacle race. Each event was planned taking into account the
age-appropriate and progression skills of our students. The prize distribution
was a rewarding experience for our little leaders, who felt very proud at
earning the well-deserved medals.
Students of Prep 2 displaying excellent dribbling skills and
basketball goal shooting skills while the Prep 1 students showcased their
footwork and shooting skills while playing football. Both classes showed
exemplary control of the ball and excellent hand eye and foot eye coordination.
Many Ronaldo’s and Michael Jordan’s in the making. Not just the boys the girls
too were bending it like Beckham.
The Prep 1’s too had a chance to participate in an obstacle
race, from balancing themselves on a balance beam to crawling through a tunnel
to sorting food into healthy and unhealthy the race challenged both the
physical and cognitive skills of our students. Food being an important aspect
of keeping healthy, preparation of the sports day focused on the balanced diet
awareness quotient too.
Not just the students we also engaged their parents in a
team challenge, the ‘Minute to win it- Hoola Hoop Team Challenge.’ Parents
formed two groups and the first group to abide by the rules was declared the
winner.
The keenly contest event ended with a Vote Of Thanks, where
all participants, guests and staff were thanked for their efforts. We wrapped
the morning by singing of our school, “In omnia Paratus”, a Latin phrase and
our school motto which means prepared for all challenges
The students displayed the PYP attitudes of confidence,
cooperation and commitment through the event. This was an event where everyone
emerged a winner and went back not just developing the physical skills but also
their thinking and cognition skills.
Life after all is a balancing game and all we need is
mindfulness and enthusiasm to emerge as winner in the game of life! The event
was a testament to the philosophy of whole education which we espouse at Indus
School and our Early Learning centers and Pre-schools. A true and authentic
exercise in inquiry based learning!
