Sports Day, Year One, BST

Here's D (in blue shirt and cap, on the left) waiting for the baton...
He's got the baton...
And now he's off!

The "Glovers" (blue team) earned the most points to win first place, beating three other teams. It was a two-hour competition at the Yoyogi track; aside from the relay, the kids pushed whiffle balls around cones with hockey sticks, threw bean bags, raced in potato sacks and balanced eggs on spoons, among other things.

Hello Maryanne, I'm Eliza from Singapore. Stumbled upon your blog somehow. Your kids are really cute. Are they taught in Japanese in school? Enjoyed your pictures. Keep posting! =)

Hey there! The kids go to the British school, where instruction is in English. In fact I wish there was more Japanese language instruction. They get a little, but not a lot.
