On June 7th, our school campus buzzed with excitement as we hosted our annual Sports Festival, a day filled with spirited competitions and joyful activities for all our students and parents. From Radio Taiso kick-offs to hilarious races and heartwarming dances, it was a day filled with unforgettable moments for our students, teachers, and awesome parents.

The event kicked off with the energetic Radio Taiso, where kids warmed up with exercises to get ready for the day ahead. After some serious stretching we divided everyone into the Blue and White teams. Let the games begin!

Our big kids and primary champs sprinted their hearts out, leaving even the wind behind.

One of the most memorable moments was the Waka Waka dance performed by the big kids, donning t-shirts they had painted themselves. Their joyous moves and colorful attire added a vibrant touch to the festivities. Following this, they tackled an obstacle race with their parents, with a hilarious twist where they ran wearing towels like they were at an onsen.

Our Little Tikes class stole hearts with their adorable Superhero Dance, complete with capes and superhero belts they decorated themselves. They too had their own obstacle race, running with wings and cute hair bands alongside their cheering parents.

The MINS kids, our youngest participants, waddled around in penguin costumes for their Penguin Dance. Their delightful performance and obstacle race, aided by parents guiding toy fish into baskets, brought smiles all around.

The Primary kids showcased their synchronization and energy with the Bling Bang Bang Born song dance. Their precise movements and enthusiastic participation were truly impressive. They also tackled a challenging obstacle race with tricky questions, demonstrating their resourcefulness.

The day concluded with an award ceremony where every child received a medal for their efforts and sportsmanship. And the final cup? Drumroll, please! The Blue Team clinched victory with a score of 165 to 151 against the White Team. Way to go, champs!

A huge shoutout to our amazing teachers who orchestrated this unforgettable day. And to the parents—thank you for cheering, laughing, and making memories with us. Here's to another epic Sports Festival next year!
