Fall is coming. A lot of elementary schools have a big event this weekend. It is "undo-kai"("athletic meeting"). I would like you to know about this annual school event.
After the long vacation in summer, pupils start preparing for their undo-kai at the end of September.
In the event, pupils compete in many kind of sporting activities. They perform footraces, three-legged races, piggyback fight and so on. Parents also come to watch their children doing the activities, and sometimes they participate in an activity.
The day I visited an elementary school to take pictures, the pupils were rehearsing the event.
It is said that "undo-kai" bigan more than a hundred years ago.
This traditional event has been continued for long time .
Pupils and parents are looking forward to this Sunday.

This is a good start. But somehow I would like more information about undo-kai. Did you participate in such events when you were in school? Providing your own experiences as a Japanese student participating in such an event would be useful and interesting.
