Last Friday, the Year 8s were introduced to the Japanese national sport of Sumo wrestling. Students spent a lesson learning about the traditions associated with the sport including throwing salt to purify the ring and how wrestlers lift their legs and then stomp down to clear the ring of any bad spirits.
After practicing their moves, the students were then able to challenge each other in the sumo ring. They were all padded up and many showed off their talents. Thank you to Sensei Takayama for her help on the day. It was a great success and the students all had a lot of fun.
