Picnic and Concert

Today was Amy's kindy picnic. At first I thought I was going to have a lesson right in the middle of it at 10am, so I arranged for Baachan to go and she called Mie to help her. But then my student cancelled so I got to go after all.

It was held in Osada Park, a big park with a huge field, lots of play equipment, lakes on either side and a stream running through it. We all gathered together for the official start, consisting of an introduction, welcome message, prayer, two songs, introduction to this year's PTA, introduction to all the teachers, oreintation and 'taiso' or exercises - almost like a dance, to some old fuddy-duddy folk song.
