It was the annual sports day in Japan which has the biggest lead up I have ever seen! My school didn't have classes for 2 weeks as all the time was devoted to sports day practice! Then on the big day it rained so it was postponed to the following day! The day involved many relays including one that the teachers participated in (luckily I managed to get out of this one!), the girls doing a traditional dance called the Soran, the boys doing formations with their shirts off (not sure why!), the 5 teams doing their own choreographed cheer, all clubs marching in their uniforms and awards given to clubs for recent competitions. It was a fun day and the weather turned out to be beautiful and worth the wait!
The teachers had these really cute t-shirts made!

At the end of the Soran the girls build pyramids.

Taiko drumming as part of the white teams cheer.
The red team did their cheer and ended it with these signs that say "Let's cheer for the red team!"
