Sports Day

Outdoors is an integral part of the curriculum at Shikshantar. Everyday children explore a variety of physical activities and games in school. These activities not only enhance their physical abilities but also develop a love for outdoors in the children. It inculcates a sense of team spirit and bonding as well in them. Children eagerly await the arrival of ‘Sports Day’ to share their experiences with their parents. This year ‘Sports Day’ was celebrated with great enthusiasm in the Pre Primary block on Saturday, 17th December. It was a delight to see the excitement with which children challenged themselves to attempt rope walking, obstacle, hurdles, kicking, dribbling and a variety of fun games. Parents also explored and participated actively in the games and hurdles set up for them amidst enthusiastic cheering by the children. The collective energy of the children, their parents and facilitators added up to an energetic and fun filled Sports Day celebration.

Hamara Manch

Colourful pillars standing tall at the entrance, spinning windmills strung together across the corridors and the lively backdrops were a reflection of children's involvement and participation at every step. Dance, music and drama presentations evolved from the experiences related to themes, stories and project activities taken up in the groups.
