Sports Activities SWIMMING
Learning to swim is benecial to children's health, enjoyment, and selfcondence. Learning to swim also allows children to participate in a variety of other activities such as kayaking, canoeing, scuba diving, surng, triathlons, and yachting. Swimming keeps a child's heart and lungs healthy, improves strength and exibility, increases stamina, and even improves balance and posture, and even concentration and memory.
YOGA Yoga's innate ability to cease the mental chatter and live in the moment reduces stress and anxiety, showing profound benets in every sphere of life. Students are very stressed individuals, keen to outperform themselves and prove their worth every chance they get. Yoga helps them to deal with their stress and bring back some peace of mind. Those who regularly practice yoga not only report lower levels of stress and anxiety and subsequently improved academic performance.
SILAMBAM Students practicing silambam will experience benets in exibility, coordination and most importantly, a calm mind! As a true art, Silambam will allow you to discover your true self and look at life from a better perspective. Spring Mount Public Scho

Movie time Date: 20/4/2023
Movie screened: Boss Baby This lm tells the story of a seven-year-old boy, who has very busy but loving parents. One day, his parents bring home a baby boy. He gets intensely jealous from sibling rivalry, until he discovers that the baby can talk and is actually working for a company. “The Boss Baby" is a really fun lm. The sibling rivalry plot is convincing, then the fantasy kicks in. Everything about the lm, from the plot to the characters are likable, fun and cute. Learning Outcome: Movies can help illustrate big, complex ideas, explore detailed topics in ways that just aren't possible otherwise. And the best part is movies help us enrich students' learning about the much wider world outside of our classroom's walls. And to top it off, classroom movies are a great way to help students practice their media literacy skills. Active viewing is a skill that doesn't always come naturally, but it's something all students can practice and learn. And in today's media-saturated world, kids need all the help they can get when it comes to different ways of thinking about what they're seeing on screens of all sizes. Writing a movie review will help students to brush up their literary skills and listening skills.
