Orange Day at Ikiriki elementary school

I spent today at an elementary school where, along with about 20 or so other ALTs, I participated in 'Orange Day'.

We were each responsible for a goup of 6 kids, ranging from the ages of 6 to 12. The day started out with a hike up a mountain, and once we arrived at the top, there were all kinds of activities organized for us (treasure hunts, races, games etc..).

Part of the hike up to the park (easily an hour of the hike) was along a 2-lane road, where the sidewalk was just wide enough for two people to walk side by side, and where large trucks and other vehicles would wizz by. I couldn't help but think that this was very unsafe....!

Once we arrived at the park, we went mikan (orange) picking, race tobagonned down a hill, yelled at the top of our lungs, played catch, etc....

I felt like a little kid again!
