The whole school went Japanese on Friday. All the children and staff came dressed in Japanese outfits ranging from sumos to samurais! Some of the cleaning staff very kindly lent me a beautiful kimono for the day. It involved having two 'dressers' to wrap the swathes of fabric round me and took about twenty minutes to be fully 'bound'. It was surprisingly comfortable and I felt quite sad to be back in my regular clothes at the end of the day! The children had a huge range of activities to take part in including Japanese dancing (bon odori), origami, watching anime, making yaki soba (noodle dish) and a special Japanese comedy show.
