We were very excited, mainly because this year was Sya's final year at Umenohana nursery. Another reason was, we knew how hard my son and his friends had been practicing for this occasion. So we wanted to make sure every event was well captured. In order to do so, we had decided to divide our jobs. Me in charged of photo taking while my hubby was in charged of video taking.
The Umenohana nursery's 63rd sports day

Kids with yellow caps (4-year-old class) with their 'daruma' race
Kids in red caps belonged to 3-year-old class, showing here was a performance with their mothers
Some parents had to be real patient with their small kids who tend to get anxious, who would suddenly cry and stop their performance. (Pink cap= 2-year-old class)
1-year-old toddlers in green cap performing with their moms
Beautiful mommy volunteered to help out in races
There were events for parents or grandparents
There were even events for nursery kids' big sisters or brothersIt was really enjoyable to see, not only the nursery kids were having fun...even the family members who came to cheer the kids were also given chance to take part in their events. What more, they were given prizes too!
The 5 yo combined with the 4 yo for this race which they were divided into red group and white group. The group with the most balls in the basket won.

Cantiknya gambar..
Cutenya Sya pakai topi Jepun tu. Children are just so cute. Baguslah anak you sekolah kat sana. I tgok Japanese teachers are very caring and concern about the students. Masa ngaja kat Pahang, pelajar a few hi school kat Jepun dtg our school every year. They work part time nak dtg Malaysia. I tgok dorang manja dgn cikgu and makan tak cerewet Japanese ni. Dorang bedal je apa2 yg ada.
Thanks TK.
Betul. Kids anywhere are just so cute. Tak kira Jepun atau Malaysia. Ada pros and cons belajar kat Jepun ni. Bila dah biasa ngan cikgu2 yang ada masa layan kanak2 ni, balik Malaysia nanti lain pulak kan.
Tapi betul, budak2 ni bila membesar, tak banyak songeh. Kat sekolah sensei tak bagi memilih makanan. Semua kena habiskan. Sebab tu budak2 Jepun sekarang tinggi2 dan besar belaka.
Hi Nana, Wow! I really enjoyed looking thru the well taken pics. And I must say the Japanese school sure very innovative and creative what with having kids of different ages, parents involved too.
How so different to the Western countries like Canada.
And Nana, you kids must be very fluent with their Japanese, huh?
From what I know, heard, lots of Malay kids with parents on Foreign assignments, now boleh lepas from Mandarin to Russian!
Same here, one day heard couple of very young kids chatting and laughing in beautiful Mandarin....one was white, other one Chinese. And about 12 years old.
Very nice write up and beautiful pics, Nana.
Oh ya, drop by again, that Orang minyak cherita was just a filler as we had visitors, my actual posting was half way done. Already posted.
Sayonara, Lee.
Thank you Lee! Yeah, I really respect this culture of theirs, which portray one of their stereotypes which is, working as a team. Their teamwork is really outstanding. And they have been stressing this culture ever since the kids were little. No wonder they excel and always tip top in everything.
My son speaks Japanese quite fluently. But there is another worry when we go back actually. We need to teach him intensively 'Malay and English' language when we go back. hahaha...Hopefully he would catch up fast. :)
