Pattaya School No. 1 brought lesson learning to the playground with its annual Sports Days.

Deputy Mayor Wattana Chantanawaranon opened the Dec. 11-13 competition, which saw students split into four squads to compete in football, volleyball, tennis, rattan ball, petanque and other outdoor sports.

Wattana sports days, held by all city public schools, are an important part of developing better health in students. The competitions help children learn good sportsmanship, preparation, teamwork and forgiveness, he said. In addition, Wattana said, students will pass on these lessons to younger pupils with some even becoming professional athletes later on in life.
