Pocheon Middle School had a festival to celebrate their fall semester. It was a really big deal for the kids. They hung up all the art work and projects the kids have done for the last year, and had two days of games, competitions, tallent shows and class presentations. It was quite fun, but very noisy. This is the first year class, banging orange noise makers that are very popular in Korea.

The pictures and little houses on the table were all made by the kids. Not in *my* classes, obviously! I was surprised at how good a lot of their work was.

They had a competition for jumping rope. They had different classes, and groups of kids, all jumping. They counted how many times they could jump before someone made a mistake. These kids got up near 40 I think, I can't hear what he said exactly.


It's difficult to tell what they are doing at first, watch through to the end. One student is running across the backs of his classmates. There are actually 3 classes running at once, this is the first year class. They won. The kids are yelling "il-ban-fighting" (First years, fighting!)
