17:00 Physical Training (PT)
As
one student bangs a bass drum, another a snare drum, two students sit cross
legged on the school verandah leading their fellow students in vigorous
arm exercises. Some students sit, some stand depending on their disability.
Volunteers or visitors are also welcome to join in!
After
half an hour of co-ordinated PT, the students split into groups. Handstand
runs are the order of the day for the children who cannot use their lower
limbs - they walk round the quadrangle on their hands with the greatest
of ease. 
Another
group does a form of gymnastics called 'Pole Malkam'. Each boy in turn stands
in front of a 4 metre high round pole, then grasping it pulls himself to
the top through an array of athletic twists and turns to finish with a particular
position. Other students take part in 'Rope Malkam'.
