Connor's School Sports Festival webpost
Hi! Connor here,
On Saturday June 8 I participated in my very first Japanese style sports day. It was very different from a typical Australian sports day, which usually consists of events featured at the Olympics such as discus, long jump and sprints. Instead the Japanese sports day had various events that I had never ever experienced in my life! A personal favourite was the jump rope, where 20 people from the same home room lined up in sets of two and attempted to jump each time the rope swung around. My group ended up getting a total of 70 jumps!
Sadly, My purple team ended up coming 2nd to the blue by 70 points, but all in all it was an incredibly fun day full of new experiences!
