School Sports Day

At the sports day we are divided into red and yellow teams. Alex was on the red team and Joe was on the yellow team.

When we did the tug of war the red team won twice.

There was also an event called the Hurricane. The Hurricane is an event where 4 people hold a pole and run together carrying it in front of them, they then have to go round some cones. The yellow team won that race.


There were also some dances in during the sports day. There was a dance called the Soranbushi, it is a traditional Japanese Fishing dance from an island in Japan called Hokaido. It finishes with a human pyramid Here is a video of us taking part in the dance.














We were at the base of the pyramids.


There was a relay race which our cousin was in. He was so fast that because of him he team won.
There was an 80m race. Alex came first in his group and Joe was second is his race, the reason was because there was a faster person in the inside lane.
There was an event called the Suzuwari, it is a bit like a piñata, there are no points or prizes, but you have to throw balls at a big tub to make it burst, and then streamers fall down from it.

The sports day was on a Saturday and lasted most of the day, everyone had a picnic at lunchtime. We got Monday off because it was on Saturday.
