Pakati Primary – Infants Sports Day!

Welcome to our latest blog, with details, images and videos are sent courtesy of Mr Mahachi, Head teacher at Pakati Primary school.

The sports took place on Thursday, 21st March, within the school ground. The participants were from ECD (Early Childhood Development) through to Grade 2.

These are some of the students who would really benefit from having access to IT & Internet to enhance their future learning, they are the reason Friends of Pakati exists to help. If you can, please donate to support our efforts to get IT & other items out to the 2 Pakati schools: http://www.paypal.me/friendsofpakati & http://www.gofundme.com/friends-of-pakati

The infants were grouped into 4 houses, Blue, Red, Green, and Yellow

The activities included such as a sack race, relays, hopping, and & other competitions.

Learners, parents & teachers enjoyed the days’ activities.

Below are some short videos taken on the day. Mr Mahachi said “…the idea was just to scout and nurture talent and just to have fun outside the classroom walls.”

It is clear from the above clips that Mr Mahachi was right about them enjoying themselves!
