This week I had
the pleasure of attending Fujimura’s
bunkasai! Back at home in New Zealand, we don’t really have anything like
this, so I was really excited to see what it would be like. I attended on both
days and I was so glad I did! The school had transformed beautifully with all
the decorations and I absolutely loved watching the students doing the things
they love, they are incredibly hard workers and so talented. The gymnastics and
rhythmic gymnastics performances were so amazing, I almost couldn’t believe it
was real! Walking around the classrooms and visiting the various things students
had set up was so interesting; I was really impressed by how students had made
things such as the ride in the classroom and the haunted house, and it makes me
wonder when they found the time! One of my favourite parts of the bunkasai was the end of the first day
when students who had volunteered went up on stage and performed the things
that they had come up with themselves. In my school, we had something similar
to this called ‘Variety Show’, where students who volunteered would prepare
some type of performance such as singing, dancing, and playing instruments.
However, I found the performances at the bunkasai
a lot more fun! The energy was awesome and I was very happy to see all the K-pop
dance covers the students did, especially with how the other students cheered
them on. It was truly a great experience!
