日本の学校では、毎年「運動会」があります。大体9月か10月にありますね！生徒は紅組と白組に分かれて、走ったり競技をしたりして楽しみます。先生や保護者も一緒に応援して、とてもにぎやかな一日です！
運動会ではいろいろな競技がありますが、有名なのは「リレー」、「大玉転がし」という大きなボールをみんなで運ぶスポーツ、そして「組体操」という生徒みんなでアクロバティックなパフォーマンスをするものがあります😎
そして面白いのは「応援団」！学校のユニフォームを着て、ハチマキをして、大きな声でチームを応援します！実は私も学生の時応援団のメンバーでした😆
家族や友達と外でお弁当を食べるのも楽しい思い出です！おにぎりや卵焼きが入ったシンプルなお弁当なんですけど、運動会の日はなんかもっと美味しいんですよね～🥹

In Japanese schools, there is a “Sports Day” every year. It usually takes place in September or October! Students split into the red team and the white team, and they enjoy running and competing in different events. Teachers and parents also cheer together, making it a very lively day!
There are many kinds of events at Sports Day, but the famous ones are the relay race, the “Ōdama-korogashi,” where everyone rolls a huge ball together, and the “Kumi-taiso,” an acrobatic performance that students do as a group.
And one fun part is the “cheering squad”! They wear the school uniform, tie on a headband, and cheer loudly for their team. Actually, I was also a member of the cheering squad when I was a student.
Eating lunch outside with family and friends is also a wonderful memory! The lunchboxes usually have simple foods like rice balls and rolled omelets, but on Sports Day they somehow taste even better.
