The sports curriculum is designed according to the needs of the different age groups. In the pre-primary classes, emphasis is laid on the development of gross motor skills, physical stamina, flexibility, balance, strength, hygiene, overcoming physical fears and hesitations and the development of team play. In the primary classes, games with rules become increasingly important. Team accomplishments complement individual goals for excellence. Gradually, skills of play and precision with mastery assume greater significance for students of the secondary classes.
Yoga & meditation
Brooklyn National Public School lays great importance on helping students live mindfully and teaching Yoga at school is one such endeavour in that direction. Yoga helps endorse human values to reform attitude and behavior, relieve stress and strain, build up a healthy lifestyle, shape high moral character and develop refined personality of the students so as to promote their overall well-being. Our Yoga classes are geared towards increasing students’ physical activity, improving their muscle strength, flexibility and posture, helping them relax, having better control over their emotions and improving their attention span and focus. The classes are modified as per the age groups and a trained educator guides the learning process.
Outdoor Sports
At Brooklyn National Public School, we lay great emphasis on our students’ physical as well as mental health. The health benefits of outdoor sports are numerous. In addition to making kids mentally and physically strong, they help improve their motor skills, hand and eye coordination, balance, and overall performance. Furthermore, physical activities promote stronger muscular, skeletal, immune, respiratory, and cardiovascular systems. Outdoor sports also encourage social skills development and team work.
Outdoor sports facilities at Brooklyn National Public School include football and cricket. Trained coaches facilitate the learning of the games. We also host an Annual Sports Day to inculcate and celebrate the spirit of sportsmanship in our students.
Indoor Sports
To cater to the varied interests of our students, we have facilities for multiple indoor games like ludo, table tennis, chess and carrom. These indoor games help them think more creatively and train them for making instant and flexible decisions. These games also help our students pick up important skills like decision-making, analytical thinking, precision and patience. Through these games they get to practice essential cognitive skills which enhance the parts of the brain responsible for complex thought and memory formation. They help improve their interpersonal skills and students learn to socialize and more importantly learn how to accept and react to failure. Participation and learning these indoor games are encouraged by the school. We also host and participate in annual competitions for students to boost their learning spirit.
