Just like in America the kids at Nantawan have a Sports Day, aka "field day." The kindergartens had their Sports Day on Thursday morning with events like a ball toss, soccer kick, and relay race. Friday the elementary students had their Sports Day, which included events like running, relays, swimming, soccer matches, and basketball games. Each day included a traditional marching ceremony where the teams (red, blue, green and yellow) marched onto the field and presented their colors. They also had a cheer leading competition. It was a busy, hot couple days. I was the emcee of the event on Thursday morning and on Friday I coached my red team girls and boys basketball teams and they each took 2nd place. Unfortunately kids here only get P.E. once a week and hardly get a recess so it was good for them to get some physical activity in their schedules.
