Day One of Seiritsu Festival 2016
We are having our school festival this weekend. It is a lot of fun as always. School festivals in Japan can be quite inventive and creative. The students enjoy making the interesting rooms and themes for the variety of classrooms that they present to the public.
On top of displays involving their daily studies, many schools will have little shops that sell food and so they often find themes for the shops. Sometimes the themes match where they go on their school trips.
Sometimes it matches something from their lessons. And sometimes it's just something creative to draw interest from their fellow classmates and visitors.
With the rain happening all weekend many of our events that are typically held outside were moved inside. They did not have as much space as they normally would but it was still very exciting and everything ran smooth, like clockwork, and everyone is enjoying the event immensely.
Our students will put up some blog posts soon. They will probably talk a lot about the festival then so please check in again and read what the students have to say. Thank you!
