Our sports day was successfully held on Saturday 8th of this month. Luckily, we managed to mostly get clear weather without rainfall. This meant that all the hard work that we put into practice times could be displayed on the planned day.

All of the classes worked so hard to be able to race correctly and to remember all the different routines for set activities and displays. We had practiced for many days – both inside and outside – and this even involved a full rehearsal day on September 28th.

It was so rewarding to see all the students trying their best at the races and the performances. Right from the youngest children in the Tulip class, up to the oldest children in the Lion and Tsubaki classes, they all gave so much effort.

I hope that everyone who attended our sports day were entertained by the performances, and were excited to see the children compete in various races.

Sports day can help the students to gain healthy minds as well as bodies, and, at the same time, gain confidence in their abilities.

Winning races and events is good, but joining in and trying hard is the most important part!!
