ISA Activity: Tug Of War “Connect with people you can pull with not against.”
The teachers of Greater Valley School came together to participate in a ‘Tug of War’ competition, as a part of the ISA Collaborative Project ‘Traditional Sports’.
When children are involved in sports, they are able to learn and put into practice values that stay with them for the rest of their lives. Good sportsmanship is one of the valuable life lessons that children can learn from sports.
The teachers of the school’s 4 houses; Emerald, Garnet, Sapphire & Topaz competed and displayed some great sportsmanship for our students to follow. The winners of today’s competition were Emerald & Topaz house.
