It's interesting they only divide into two teams, even though they have twice as many grades as the twins school. I guess it's more about bonding as a school rather than competition at this age.

I think that Undoukai are truly Life in Japan. Only in Japan. I guess you don't encounter sports days of this scale when you are overseas. Our children's school has a sports day , but it is by grade, the preparation is left to the teachers, and practice is held only once or twice. On the other hand, in Japan, everyone is very motivated and it is a good opportunity to learn the fun and sometimes frustration of competition. I would like to thank the teachers and those who prepared for this event. Parents are also very impressed by the seriousness of their children at this school event. It is good to see people from overseas introducing themselves. Hopefully, it will spread abroad.

They have grown up so much. Joshua is growing into a lovely young man and Sarah is catching up with her sisters.🥰

I love how Sarah almost always has a grin on her face 😁

"Although they both look alike" I would say so. Sarah and her cousin look very much the same.

Sarah's and Joshua's School Olympic Games were so fun to watch! They both did great! Love the spirit of cooperation and competition displayed in these games! The Japanese sure know how to do these kinds of events.

一部の公立学校で「紅組・白組を廃止」で、勝ち負けをつけないようにしようという動きがあると記事で見掛けた。

サラちゃんは双子達の妹だと思ってたけど、小学校ではもうみんなのお姉さんですね。

I remember doing running events when I was 10 for the 1984 Olympics. They are making good memories here.

Your kids are so bright and full of joy. Keep spreading the good vibes!!

運動会って親の目線としては、子供の毎日の繰り返しでは気づきにくい成長を感じて感動させてもらえる。

[@user-cr2ij9nr1o]

ウチの子どもたちは、もう大人になってしまったので、とても懐かしく見させていただきました！やはり子どもたちの、一所懸命な姿は感動します。
