Track and Field Event 2023


Exercise Without Exercise!!
The Track and Field Events were held at National Public School, Kalkere on Friday, 8th September 2023 for Grades 5-12, Tuesday 12th September for Grades 1& 2 and Wednesday 13th September for Grades 3 & 4. This typically involved athletic contests based on running, jumping and throwing skills. The exposure to extensive physical activities- some intense some moderately intense, encouraged the students to break down the limiting walls. The students of grades 5 to 12, in batches, participated and competed in events, viz: races of 100mts, 200mts and 400 mts; Relay, Standing Broad Jump, and Shot put. The students of Grades 1 to 4 participated in the 60-meter race, obstacle race, lemon  spoon race and very interesting circuit races. The points accrued were added to the House score. The competitive spirit was high and everyone gave their best to ensure their team/House emerged victorious. There were No benches, No Half Time, No Time-outs-it was a testament to the importance of physical fitness and sportsmanship spirt on a multi-dimensional domain. 
Significantly, it was a No Bag Day for the junior school, wherein the students were engaged in different kinds of fun learning activities!!
