On 22nd April, our Primary students participated in Hanova’s annual PYP Sports Day. The students were divided into their 4 House Teams – Tang, Song, Han & Qin – for an entire day of Sports and fitness activities including track races, a basketball shoot-out, obstacle course relays, beanbag tosses and more. Each of the Houses cheered their teams on with colorful House shirts, House flags and contagious team spirit! Hanova’s sports fields and dragon court were buzzing all day with the children’s energy and excitement.
The activities of the day were divided into three sessions:
- Session 1: Dragon Court athletics
- Session 2: Obstacle challenges and sprints
- Session 3: Ball games and team activities
Congratulations to all the students who participated for a fantastic fun day and thank you to all the parents who attended to support their kids and to all the staff who contributed to making it a successful event.
Congratulations also to Tang house for their comprehensive win of the Primary School Sports Day. This win was set up by some exceptional individual performances from the Years 4 – 6 students on the track and backed up by some great team efforts in the team field events.
There was a very close tussle for 2nd, 3rd and 4th with only 21 points separating the other 3 teams! See below the final points totals below the photos.
