Thursday was "sports day" at school. The junior high students were split up into teams and played such games as basketball, soccer, basketball, and volleyball. One of the most interesting games was "handball". It seemed to be a mix between soccer and basketball. From what I observed you threw the ball to your teammates and they had to dribble the ball (which looked like a bouncy soccer ball) down the field. At the end of the course were two soccer goalies in which the players threw the balls into to get a point. If they stopped they could take up to three steps before they had to pass it on. If the ball landed on the ground it was up for grabs by anyone. Play stopped when the ball went out of bounds.
Saturday was the culture festival at school. Several of the school clubs showed off what they have been working on. We heard the wind orchestra club and the choir. My favorite presentation of the day was the Japanese Drum Club. These kids were amazing! My other favorite thing was the display they had out from the art students. Each one had to draw their eye(s) from a different perspective. I thought it looked pretty cool!

Seeing the building I think that is a big school. Remind me how many grades and kids they have there. They seem to keep all those kids busy during their break time.
Yes, the eyes and drummers are impressive.

Well the school has 7-12 grades. I can't remember how many kids there are total...maybe 1000?
