The children at Treehouse Montessori School have been practising for the Family Fun Day scheduled at the beginning of March. Family Fun Day is an event for both the children and their parents, held annually at the gymnasium in the Yokohama Country & Athletic Club. Adults and children compete in races and games, and there is a relay race competition for everyone, including the teachers, at the end!
The highlight of the day is the performance by the Bluebird Class (children from 4–6 years old), who will be putting on a beautiful show of dancing with ribbons. The children cannot help but think that they are like the Olympic gymnasts when they are practising.
The ribbon performance is definitely a good motivation for children to work on coordination, concentration, and self-discipline.
Having lunch with their parents is another thing that the children look forward to on this day every year. The day ends with the presentation of medals and a photo with the entire group. — JENNY VYVIAL
