Shimogo JHS Sports Day 2006

As usual, the Shimogo JHS sports day was organised with military precision. The students (and teachers) have been preparing for about 1 week and everything ran like clockwork.

The weather was a worry, and although it was chilly, the rain never really arrived. After a short opening ceremony, the school and Japanese national flag were raised. Following this, every student took part in a warm up before the start of competition.

Sports events included the 1500m, hurdles, tug of war, 4 x 100m relay, shot, long jump, high jump, and a group skipping competition. It was a fantastic day but I am tired and cannot type any more.
It's Golden Week next week. We will go to Tokyo for 10 days and on Monday 1st May, we will go to Disney Sea. I also plan to meet a couple of friends during Golden Week and am also thinking about buying a new digital camera. I'll update my blog on the 7th of May. Happy Golden Week!!!!!

Happy Golden Week. Sounds like a perfectly good reason for a holiday. Which sports day events did you take part in? Do they do the wheelbarrow race in Japan?
