Miyahara School Festival

Yesterday (Sat Sept. 17) my school had their school festival. The second and thrid year homeroom classes choose to do a food stand or a theme room for the festival. They work on it after school for about a week and then they get half a school day to work on it. They really get into it. I even saw someone sawing something! The rooms were very creative. They had a room of student made origami, game rooms, a movie room showing a movie they made at school, a cartoon room, a balloon room, and many more. For food they had chicken skewers, noodles, fried chicked, snow cones, ice cream, popcorn, etc. It was all very good and the festival was a lot of fun. In one of the pictures I'm sending it shows a student putting noodles down what looks like a bamboo pipe. The pipe has a steady stream of water flowing down and he drops it on the top and it flows down the pipes and the coustomer put their chop sticks in the stream of water and catches the noodles as they come down. Then they dip them in a soy based sauce and eat them. I thought it looked so fun! The other picture is of the performance stage set up out in the courtyards. Many students performed music and dance routines. This is a picture of a boys dance group that was SO good!
