Usually they were hosted by parents and teachers and involved either some kind of sport, or something creative. I know I got to paint the asphalt in the school yard one year! There also was a sports day (hated that because I was always so bad at PE) and I know one year we had a school festival were each class got to perform a little skit or dance. That one was fun!Leonore Wintererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07681857834221038780noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873207916803236377.post-44587461617072028712021-06-15T07:21:44.965+09:002021-06-15T07:21:44.965+09:00I remember sports days and cross country running (...I remember sports days and cross country running (hated) as we had to go across the neighbouring farms and then on the school rugby field, one year I cut my heel on wire from the fence we had to climb over. I don't remember any excursions or graduation ceremonies. kiwikidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02267387525703999696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873207916803236377.post-73905261506453229882021-06-14T12:29:13.011+09:002021-06-14T12:29:13.011+09:00This is fun.

S...Of the things listed above, I can only remember <br />School trips - which I liked<br />Graduations ceremonies - which sometimes surprised me, (I was given an award for the best essay or something)<br />Emergency drills - fire drills with smoke in the corridors, frighteningly realistic<br />Sports days - which were fun as we could chose an event from a list - I usually picked walking or cycling<br />Matches - we had to play bandy (field hockey on ice, very Swedish!) which I hated<br /><br />What I liked best of 'school events' was a set of study visits to various religious 'tempels'. I remember vividly a visit to Hare Krishna, one to the Salvation Army and to an archaeological dig where the Vikings used to worship their gods.Queeniepatchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13281330411053716603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873207916803236377.post-76693306434866938652021-06-13T15:57:22.995+09:002021-06-13T15:57:22.995+09:00Hello Pamela.

It was very cold.<br /><br />My favorite event was an excursion.<br /> I don't remember in detail where I went.<br />But it was special to get on the bus and go far with lunch and snacks.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873207916803236377.post-49761174370643929972021-06-13T15:10:47.223+09:002021-06-13T15:10:47.223+09:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873207916803236377.post-23922822317245682562021-06-13T14:08:17.263+09:002021-06-13T14:08:17.263+09:00Quite an interesting list!
I went to 7 different ...Quite an interesting list!<br /><br />I went to 7 different primary (elementary) schools, so I was never at any of them long enough to find out if there were any annual events. But most of the things on that list never happened at schools I attended. I loved any excursions, as they got us out of the classroom. But I don't know if those were the same as "school trips" in Japan. I hated any sports days, as there was no sport I was any good at, so it was a day of humiliation.<br /><br />From about grade 3 each school I attended had swimming lessons in summer, and I hated them because I couldn't swim (or even float) and hated putting my face in the water. I would be left behind while other students progressed each week to new skills. By the time the other students could swim across the pool, I was still at the shallow end repeating the first lesson every week.Vireyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16464838238295059335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2873207916803236377.post-90097163837092727952021-06-13T08:48:55.903+09:002021-06-13T08:48:55.903+09:00Greetings Pamela: I find this post interesting,
